Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 115]

#68 Saturday 9 December 9:30 pm Hi, Sweetie - Just finished a long letter to you and am so glad I wrote it tonight, because I'll be working on the pay line again for the next 3 nights. Today I received four letters from you besides the one from Fran's mother and all the clippings in that and the long envelope…a letter from Mother and Father, one from Muz and another from Albert, in Providence! It's a wonderful feeling to make a haul like that these days. The letter from Albert was just to say that, on consulting Jean, he decided to get Muz a box of candy because she had so many flowers…”It was sweet of Bobby to offer to help but I have a fine nurse who looks after every need and who is on nights while I am away”…Doug's promotion, and other small talk. I was delighted with Mrs. Conrad's note, amused at the part about Fran, and hopeful that you can make the visit as soon as she suggest, early in January. The rest I'll answer just as soon as I can. Now I've only time for a quick bedroom story - When the Gooks were consulted (that it, their leaders) as to whether - considering the very high birthrate here - they would like supplies of contraceptives, one of them replied: “Hell, no - that's like taking a shower with a raincoat on.” With or without the raincoat, darling, I'm all yours- Warren
