244 Sunday April 29 - 8:30 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Norman is trying to get a picture of me now - thought you would like a picture of me writing you - and I think we can get the gardenias in too- 6:00 P.M. After we finished that one, he took some of me in my new white bathing suit, and something really good if it comes out - me in grass skirt and gardenias. We spent the rest of the morning having apple pie and coffee and taking more pictures. Knowing Norman as I do, it will probably be a good long time before we get the prints, but it will be worth the wait if at least a few of them are good. He had to leave on the 11:10 bus, and Wendy and I [pg 2] came home to sunbathe. It was too warm to stay out long - little sweetie was having a wonderful time playing around dressed just in shirt, pants and sunbonnet. She's getting nice and brown and her cheeks every rosy. Her balance is getting lots better - don't think it will be more than two months before she starts walking alone. You would have loved watching her this afternoon, sitting in the middle of the floor eating pretzels while Helen and I each had some beer. No mail - and I'm feeling unhappy and very tired tonight. If I could just phone you it would help so much. 8:45 P.M. Sweety, sometimes I get so [pg 3] discouraged about this separation. Life is so empty - even with all you do for me - so many times I turn to you - to love you, play with you, be with you - and all the time those damn months ahead bounce up and hit me. Oh, if you could be together again. Darling, I love you so terribly much, and would be willing to go thru anything at all to be with you again. Dearly beloved - please hurry home to us - Bobby
