Dear Father, Mother and the rest of the folks at home,

Today has been a nice, quiet day. Yesterday tho it really blew along in the afternoon and evening. Out at work it didn’t start till about 4:30 when I was leaving work but in San Pedro it began much earlier according to Mrs. Johnson. It was sort of hard on flowers etc., I guess. The sun has been continuing to dawn unhid by clouds etc but I guess that that can’t last too long.

Thursday night I went over and visited Mr. West, on of the members of the board at the church here. We talked till about ten-thirty. He asked me to com over the night of the house-warming I wrote about previously. It was a fairly interesting evening. He is a nice fellow with a nice wife and two smart youngsters but he’s not exactly my type. He was a salesman before the war — a great talker — you know the type. After you leave off talking to him and think over our conversation it’s really as frothy as that at Ladies Aid.

Friday night I went to a show. It was a double feature. One show was “The Three Caballeros” — a Walt Disney product. It was however I thought considerably below his usual standard. The other one was one that my music teacher had recommended — “Music for Millions” but it too was not very good. I could not recommend either one. Time Magazine ran the first pretty well into the ground with its review of it but gave the other as I recall a vague commendation.


Today Pastor Samuelson was not here but the other pastor from the service center, Johnson, was. Next Sunday Samuelson will be back and after that the student is coming I guess. Tinberg was down Thursday night but I didn’t go to see him since I was over at the Wests and hadn’t told Mrs. John son where I was. He told her, however, than in intern was coming for the summer Well, he’s got his work cut out for him.

My work is going on about as usual. At present I am obtaining some additional data with regard to some previous work that I had done.

Good night

With love
C.P.
