143 January 27-Sat. 8:30 P.M. My dearest darling: Another week over - wish I could look forward to making your breakfast tomorrow - muffins, fired egg and bacon, and everything that goes with it! The Bensons are having a party tonight, and are trying to get me to come over, but I just don't want to: Not because I'm afraid, but it would just set me down in the dumps to be in the midst of a bunch of Navy people without you. No mail today - for some reason mail from the Pacific has been much slower recently - Met Gerry on my way hope(sic) from the P.O. this afternoon, and she hadn't had any mail either. Finished ‘Jane Eyre’ this morning, and was quite surprized to realize how much I had enjoyed it. Am going to tackle ‘Wuthering Heights’ next. I remember seeing the picture a long time ago, but don't recall the story. I trimmed Wendy's overalls with white ric rac ([drawing]) and put her name across the bib -[drawing] It looked just darling. I got them on Wendy this afternoon, and took some pictures. [pg 2] Walter just came over - guess I'll have to get dressed and go over for a drink or two. It's a lonely night with a full moon - think I'll walk down to the P.O. and see if maybe there isn't a letter. Maybe I will be able to pick up some scuttlebutt for you. Darling, I'm taking you right along with me, I think maybe I'm just a little bit afraid. 11:00 Home again, sweety, and safe in your pyjamas. It wasn't too bad, and I did meet [?]? (the one you liked so well in your seminar, has a 6-yr-old daughter and his wife has the film library at N.Y.U.) He was very pleasant, and walked me down to the P.O. to see if there was a letter, but there wasn't. He asked me to be sure and tell you how delighted he was to meet me, and he wants to be remembered to you. I hope you won't mind honey - but I gave him your typewritten letters to read, and asked him please not to pass them around. I hope you won't mind me being so free with them, but they are good letters, and contain just the information those men are eager for. Also met the Coomers, Nims, the Johnstones (I like them very much - Lois is having a baby in July, and I think I have found them a place to live thru Marge) and the one man I didn't like whose name sounds something like Gidney - very talkative, and I should imagine bossy. It wasn't too bad, but I don't want to do it again. I think I managed as well as I did, because you were with me - I shall always be your loving and devoted wife - Bobby
