Ens WR Johnston USNR 4709 Navy Bldg (The little bookmark is in use) Mon. 12:58 am Home at last, and my room feels like a blast furnace. I dread tomorrow but I guess I'll live through it. Probably won't get the checks tallied for two or three days, Sweetie, but I'll return them as soon as I do. Meanwhile you let me know the balance. Loved the letter that was waiting for me here, with its anticipations of the weekend and of my having time to spend with Wendy - it was the nicest weekend yet, my dearests, and I do so look forward to homecoming. Kindest regards to Miss Fuuke. I l.y. W. Mon a.m. Yesterday was the hottest June 18th on record here, according to this morning’s paper (98°)
