| In San Francisco, December 1943 |
Dearest Phyllis,
Franklin and I had a most pleasant and
enjoyable weekend -- although it was much too short. Will try to arrange to see
him again before I come home.
Had dinner at the U.S.O. before starting
off for Frisco. We made the trip in about five hours arriving here shortly
after one.
~~~
After breakfast Saturday morning we
obtained tickets for an evening show, a comedy "Kiss and Tell". The
hotel moved us into a "good" room and we went out to see the sights.
Took a long ride to the
"Cliff House" and shore which is right on the ocean, a most beautiful
sight. Took several pictures there including many of Franklin. Had Xmas dinner
at the Cliff House which is located high on a rocky bluff overlooking the ocean
and the entrance to the Golden Gate to San Francisco Bay.
~~~
The show was excellent. Franklin enjoyed
it very much. After coming out of the show, the night was still
"young" -- 11 o'clock, so we walked through China Town. This was most
interesting and colorful. We decided to try a Chinese night club -- with music,
entertainment and things to drink. Franklin had a sandwich and milk. I had a
sandwich and cocoa. It cost $5.00 but we had a wonderful time. We finished the
night about 2 o'clock and went to bed.

As it was nearing train time, Franklin picked
up his tooth brush at the hotel -- that was all he brought up with him -- and
we took a taxi to the station.
~~~
It was just as hard as ever to see
Franklin go. We had such a good time together. Although he avoids talking much
about it, I know he longs to come home.
~~~
Can't tell you how much I miss you. Hope
that you are all well -- and not too cold.
Love to you all,
Franklin
