Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 131]

#84 Wednesday 27 Dec 7:30 pm Darling, Last night, expecting to write you after my English class, I had to go chasing around camp on some police business. I came in at 10, addressed an envelope, numbered this page and was just about to say “Well my working day has ended a little earlier than yesterday, anyhow…” when another call came in to investigate some trouble. This Christmas season! I got to bed finally at midnight. I like being busy and have only one complaint in connection with work: not enough time for letters. Such periods go in cycles and don't last indefinitely: meanwhile, though, I've lots more to say then I can set down. Reif and I gave out cookies, a pack or two of cigarits, etc. to each of the camp leaders (who work in this office) of our respective camps. Yesterday one of mine brought back the enclosed handkerchief embroidered by his wife, apologizing for the quality of the cloth. (The letters are simply MASUDA, his name as he has heretofore been known. The Korean version shortly to go into effect is KANG.) Incidentally, there are a lot of things discarded by Wendy which, if you do not intend to save them as keepsakes, I could use as gifts out here. You've cleaned out everything lately but you might remember that in the future. I love you, precious Warren
