Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 101]

# Thanksgiving Day 23 Nov. ’44 8 am Darling- If there was ever a time when I was eager to write you it was last night. I had several new letters to answer, some delightful snapshots to acknowledge, and could still clearly remember a dream I’d had during the night (or early morning). It was rather amusing, as well as very sexy. You and I were in bed (under the covers, fortunately) when Mama walked in the room to go to the bathroom on the other side of the room! It seemed that although the fact of our being guests in the house (wherever or whosever it was-I remember the room) was taken for granted, she just misunderstood what room we were in. Well, it so happens that we were approaching a climax (I can feel it even now); of course we hurriedly pretended to be asleep…the amazing thing was the way in which she took it: immediately aware of the situation and with the most generous understanding (which I doubt would be the case in fact - she’d be mad and blame us for being [?] to embarrass her, tho of course would never say anything) she [gra?fully] and quickly retired with just a suspicion of a chuckle. The damnedst part was that after that it seemed we had to get up, as guest of the house! More later, darling; I love you wholly Warren
