Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 221]

Letter from Warren Johnston to Bobby [Letter 221]

Darling- As I may have mentioned to you, we are starting a geography course for the whole school on April 1st. Except for a too-advanced “World Economic Geography” published by the Armed Forces Service Institute, and my Nat'l Geographic Pacific Ocean map, we have absolutely no materials to work from. We expect to begin mainly with building up appropriate vocabulary, but in a month or so's time it will be very difficult to get along without books; Tel and I and some of the Nisei are writing home to see what we can get to put into a common pool. We want to concentrate on the Pacific Ocean (especially this) area, but ordinary standard grammar school geography textbooks should be of great assistance. Will you go to see the principal of the Carmel grammar school, explain our predicament, and ask if it would be possible for him to donate one copy (used is all right) of the book used by each grade? Tomorrow I'll get a form or letter which will give you permission to send the package airmail. I'll reimburse you for the expense. Good luck W.

1945
