16- Wednesday Night 10/4 My most dearly beloved:- It's 10:00 P.M. and I can hardly keep my eyes open - just finished letter home and to Muz - always save yours til last- No mail this afternoon, but finally a letter from home. Was able to mail your snapshot folder airmail, so you should have it by the time this reaches you. I finished packing you a box, which I'll try to mail special tomorrow. I've mailed two things to you special - let me know if it helps - or if it takes extra time. As for boxes, I love to bake for you, gives me something to do, but I don't want to do it unless you want me to - don't be afraid to say no if they are a nuisance. I'll understand. Am also sending a copy of the evening paper which I got delivered, and thought you might like to see. Wheeled Wendy to the beach this afternoon - quite a job -but well worth it. The ocean was a soft gray color - perfectly smooth, but dotted with seaweed, and birds. There was a fog coming in, and it was quite a silencing sight. On my way down a 4 year old [pg 2] boy accosted me, and wanted to see Wendy. He asked if she did ducky in her [panties?]. I had to think a minute before I caught on, and then hastened to assure him that little sweetie was rapidly getting housebroken - Then, he wanted to know if she went to the bathroom, and had a ‘ducky-wucky; - a kind of toidey etc. etc. Finally wanted to know how many bathrooms we had in our house, and when I said one, he looked as shocked as if I’d said we had a privy - Oh well, that's Carmel… Darling, I had so much to tell you, but I just can't keep awake. Will write lots more tomorrow, and tell you all about our picture taking. Loads of love, my dearest darling, dream with me, but don't send dreams like I had last night, unless you can be beside me and---when I wake up. I love you- Bobby Oct. 4 ‘43 ‘We've got a Wendy or Warren on the way - big day set for the end of May or early in June -’ And so the siege began-
