#114 Tues 23 Jan. 1945 7:30 am My darling, No letters from you yesterday, but I did receive the three snapshots - one of Wendy, one of you both and one of the Christmas roses. I've been trying to make out the interior of the room in the last snapshot but it requires more memory work than anything else. Wendy is back to looking like a baby again, as why shouldn't she, and any new picture of you is likely (as this one did) to make me catch my breath a little, and then realize how actually I take you and us for granted (in a comfortable sort of way) most of the time, and it is just on occasion (a phone call, almost any new picture, an especially characteristic letter) that you are brought to life and proximity all over again, summoning a feeling of inexpressible dearness which is, momentarily, almost pain. In the New Yorker of Dec. 3oth (someone happened to have the pony edition, which gets here quickly) under “Our Combat Correspondents” is the best piece of writing on warfare, etc. in these parts that, by common consensus, several of us here have seen. It is, unfortunately, too brief and limited in scope, but is good reporting. I have a money order for $10 made out to I.P.R. and will write later today, ordering the Quarterly and whatever else goes with it to be sent to you for sampling and forwarding. I love you, darling Warren
