197 Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Saturday 14 Apr 8:30 pm Dearly Beloved, I didn't write yesterday. We didn't get through with the pay line until time to go to bed and believe me, I was ready for it. Lately I've felt a growing sense of pressure, and viability to relax even when I do get a few hours free - not enough to concern me, but enough to make me realize how I got into trouble that way before we were married. It's a good thing for me that you have more sense of proportion than I do in that respect, sweetie. It's just as well for me to learn, though. And when I consider that I haven't really taken a vacation since I got here, despite two half-days off and a couple of brief trips away from the island, I don't wonder that I've felt stale for the past month. Tel is as tired as I am (I don't mean to exaggerate - it's not a case of drooping and sagging, but just of that slight edge) but is in a different position by virtue of being concerned with policy and the expression [pg 2] of the school, things which generate enthusiasm and are a constant stimulus; lately I have been buried in administrative detail. It was I who suggested such a division of responsibility originally because I felt (as I still do) that it was a necessary one, but as yet I haven't caught up with the detail and consequently never feel as though I've accomplished anything. What I need most right now (except one or two things we won't mention) is a good night's sleep, and to that end - because it's early enough to make it worthwhile - I've taken the second of two mild sedatives I got from Dr. Kooser a few weeks ago. He has left, incidentally, and you may possibly hear from him by telephone. Also, in another couple of months, from Crom Palmer, who has his orders stateside (after 19 months out) and will probably come back out via CASA. Goodnight, sweetie - I love you dearly Warren Received the baby shoes and panties today. They are delightful. Thank you for the two kinds of cookies (They’re half gone) the baby oil and other things. Will get pkg off in a couple of days now.
