Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 201]

153 Your butterscotch whozits are the objects of considerable praise - they are good Navy #3247 (Mil. Govt) FPO San Francisco Thurs. March 1, 1945 9 pm My darling, Another whole month gone by! Tonight when I came in from work, stopping to eat half my dinner, I was so tired that I could hardly get out of my chair once I’d plunked down in it. I didn't even feel like reading, but I picked Emily to try a little bit and now, after the first 14 chapters, I find that I relished it and found it restful (I'm praising the book rather than complaining about being tired). So far it seems a rather slight book, but very pleasant and a good change for me. Today I received a good letter (with snapshot and Ernie Pyle enclosed), the first IPR magazine, which I'll comment on later, and the very good little dictionary. I can't get over the volume of mail I've had in the last week, both letters and packages. And thank you especially for the flower seeds, darling - I'll plant them outside my new quarters when we move. The poppies are up about 2”. To bed now, really to catch up on sleep for the first time in several days. I love you. Warren
