208 Saturday 28 April 1945 7:30 am Dearly Beloved, We've been having beautiful weather lately, but yesterday was the most beautiful of all - vivid, with exceptionally lovely cloud formations, a lovely sunrise and sunset, a full moon so bright (both when I went to bed and when I happened to get up at 3 a.m. this morning to go to the benjo) that you could almost read a newspaper by it. Although I didn't do anything out of the ordinary and had to go back to teaching my English class last night (I've missed it several times), it was a special day for me from the moment I got up: I celebrated your birthday with a certain quiet, almost religious feeling that stayed with me all day long. There was a little of that pleasant feeling of expectancy that one has on special days, and it sharpened my pleasure in the ordinary things about me and made me realize more than ever, my darling, what in infinite little ways you mean to me. I hope it was a happy day for you, qualifying the word happy, of course, to imply the circumstances. Twenty-four is a perfect age for my wife, I've been humming to myself now and then recently. No doubt when the time comes I'll feel the same way about 32 (and I will, I'm sure of it). But for these times and places and family considerations, you [?] couldn't improve on 24. It's as perfect for you and as you are for me always. I adore you, darling Warren
