Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 127]

#80 Friday 22 Dec. 1944 9:30 pm Darling, Just got back from a movie - Marlene Dietrich in “Kismet” - and though I enjoyed it moderately I paid more than the price by losing my nice, new, mostly unread copy of the New Yorker (Oct. 28) at the outdoor theater. That was a real disappointment - no other reading matter is so welcome to me here as the N.Y., and I had marked some book reviews to cut out and send you…yes, I got six magazines and newspapers in the mail today and as well as an Altman fruitcake from the Robbinses! Thanks so much for sending them - and send some more New Yorkers when you can. At least I can look forward to reading the times Book Review Section and the other things you sent. Tonight it is sufficiently cool so that I shivered, sitting at the movie. Makes for good sleeping, anyhow. And here I go. Better luck tomorrow, Sweetie! I do love you - better than Marlene Dietrich at her best, which she wasn't at tonight. At her best, even no comparison. Sleepily Warren
