172 $4 is for “God, Mammon and the Japanese” Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO SF Wednesday 21 March 7 pm (Spring was ushered in here today with intermittent, fairly heavy rains - and mud) My dearest darling, The fact that I've had no mail from you in two days leaves me free to answer some remaining letters from awhile back. I enjoyed Jean May's letter and wish you would tell her so when you write. What do you want me to do with such letters, keep them or return them to you? This time I'll return it, in the future destroy them unless you mark “Return.” 160: So Betty C. won her point! (She was the one who wanted another offspring, wasn't she?) Yes, they certainly must have gone right to work. July seems no time at all from now. (I wonder if I'll be here then. It seems possible. It will not be as comfortable here as it is now - the rainy season will be in full swing, with pretty strong sunshine in between.) You've received [C?] swing since mentioning in this letter that Betty was sending it. Have you rigged it up outdoors yet? [pg 2] 9 pm Gosh, wouldn't you know…I guess I should have gone off somewhere to write! Tel, Reif, Evan Davis and Smith (Coach's relief - already, in fact, appointed as new head of the department) dropped in to discuss certain matters pertaining to the relationship of the school to the Japanese boy scouts, which have long been at odds (the kids are the same, the organizations different, and we want them separate: they were so in Japan, and international in spirit, until 1933, when they were incorporated into the schools and progressively militarized) - the teachers want the scouts in school and have made it so tough for the scout leaders that the best one has finally resigned. We decided that it's about time to clamp down on the teachers - Darling, I am going to bed early tonight - right now. I really need sleep. I'm disappointed about this meager letter and hate to keep apologizing. But, do you know, I find myself thinking of you just as constantly now whether I hear from you or not (tho I always miss your letters), and whether or not I get a chance to sit down and write you at length. You’re an everyday part of me sweetheart, a big part. I love you! Warren
