61 Monday-Nov. 13- 5:15 P.M. My dearest darling: Keeo is over here - alternately banging on the piano, and reading a magazine upside down - so I don't know how far I will get. This morning P and K and Wendy and I drove over to Pacific Grove and Monterey to do some shopping. I found out that I could shop at the Presidio Commissary - that means a saving for us on canned goods. Your letter to M. and F. was waiting also a copy of Amerasia concerned with Japan that I am anxious to study. The letter I forwarded. After lunch Wendy and I went downtown to get your Special - I mailed the letter to Muz - Of course, I don't mind your sending alternate letters to her. I ask only that you write a separate page for me in those letters - or even half a page. I was happy to hear you had sent Albert money for flowers - I was able to send $2 but I don't suppose Jean could get much for that. It takes so long to get answers back - Muz's fall seems like such a long time ago. By now you know that I won't be going to Memphis - Much as I would love being with Muz - it's a bit of a relief to know I don't have to make the move. When you get [pg 2] back, let's live in one place just for 2 years to see what it feels like - If at any time Mux needs or wants me - we will leave just as soon as we can. Of course, now I know that we’d come back here to wait for you - I guess I'm getting more settled in Carmel - and feel so much easier now that P and K are right next door. Besides the Special, there was your letter telling about the photograph - I'm so glad you like it. I remember your tentmate Mac - he has a son Duncan doesn't he? Keeo has just informed me that you would be home on Wednesday! Oh well - I can dream, can't I? Last night just as I turned out the light I thought - come to bed soon, darling - you see you really can't be far away- Keeo's drawings look like this: Make any sense? It will be fun to see what Wendy does with a crayon and paper. Keeo says ‘I think it's her bath time, and I say ‘Not quite’ - ‘Why?’ and so on ad infinitum. Honey I don't want to harp on money - but we've got to have a back log for the end of the war - til you settle into whatever you are going to do - I just don't want to borrow any more - we've got to be on our own - Is there any way of getting something lined up before the war's end - if you decide not to stay in the Navy? 8:45 P.M. Have just washed and put up the hair- now I'm beside the fire which is [pg 3] blazing merrily. Little sweetie is making sleeping noises and I am waiting for you. Am looking forward so much to your getting back to Hawaii. When you leave next time will it be for the duration or can't you say - and why don't they let you come home for a few days? Or shouldn't I ask! Damn it all - when I'm not low, I'm mad - fine thing - And all I need is you with me to make everything alright again. Lots has happened to me in the almost two months you've been away. I feel as if I’d been spinning dizzily, and was just now beginning to slow down. Sweety- I miss you, need you, love you and will be so gloriously happy when we are together again. I've asked you so many questions that are still unanswered. Answer them for me darling when you can - Into the tub now - and then to bed - A heartful of love- Bobby
