161 February 12 - Monday - 8:15 P.M. My dearest darling: This has been a beautiful day - would have been perfect if I’d have had a letter from you. Stopped to see Bev this morning, and took her two roses off our bush. She showed me a photograph of Bud she had just received - and for a minute I didn't know who it was! He's grown a moustache - looks about ten years older. I don't like it very well, and don't think Bev does either. She asked me to ask you if you could have her name translated into characters, as you did ours. If possible, you might send it to her as a thank you present for being so nice to us when we came out - since she only got one drink of the Green Label. Speaking of characters - I was able to get just one bottle of green indelible ink. Which I'll send on tomorrow - mailed the napkins off today - Spent a good part of the afternoon [pg 2] raking around the house and weeding the garden. I planted another half dozen pansies and Marguerite (white daisy) bush. The flowers out here are a constant source of delight me - I'm sure I find at least one new kind every day. I put Wendy in her stroller while I worked, and wheeled her from place to place as I worked - she loved it, and it was lots more company for me. We went downtown with Helen about three - and came back here for a cigarette out back. After I got Wendy to bed - I felt awfully tired so I turned on some good music, poured a glass of sherry, lit a cigarette, and sat down to be alone with you. It's at times like that - times when I have time to be still and relaxed that I miss you most keenly - We have such a good life together - it's what makes being with you so good, and apart from you so bad. I do love you so very much darling. The days are getting longer - it doesn't really get dark til about 7:30. It's so lovely out tonight - if [pg 3] you were home we might walk down to the beach. M and F sent the enclosed clipping. Is it the matter you were referring to? It amazes me to think that the Koreans who have so little would be willing to part with so much voluntarily. God help Japan! A meeting of allied big shots in San Francisco the day the R-J treaty ends! The commentator I'm listening to seems to feel that Russia expects Germany to be defeated by the end of April - and Russia to renounce the treaty. Oh how I hope that proves to be true. Now---all my thoughts are scattered to the winds, and I can only think of the possibility of you maybe getting home sooner - that is all that matters sweety. I love you with all my heart and all the rest of me too- Bobby
