14- 10/3 Tuesday 9:25 P.M. My dearest very dearest darling:- I'm sure no woman ever had a dearer husband - Tonight about 8:00 the florist brought the beautiful ivy plant and note - darling it's things like that that hold me together, and make me feel ever so close to you. I have the ivy on the piano, and it looks as it was always there - Thank you for your love darling- I've been reading and rereading your VII letter - you ask me to write and tell you my thoughts. Well, I'm afraid even to me, they are childish, but I shall tell you about them, so that in months to come you can enjoy the transition. First of all I keep wondering just what it's all about. Second I think, I hate war, the Navy, anything and everything that takes you from me - no matter how long or short a time - I deeply resent every minute that we are not together. Lastly, I think, time will mellow my feelings - it can't help but be so, and when Warren and I are together again we will make every [pg 2] second count double. You have a job, a hard one, harder than mine, but it gives me great strength to know that each in our own way, we are shouldering a burden together. I fear for you, and what you are going into, because I know nothing about it, but I shall be with you wherever you are always. This afternoon the crib and carriage arrived beautifully packed and created, but I couldn't open them without a crowbar! I got hold of a very nice elderly carpenter who came up after dinner and uncrated them for $1.50, and I gave him the boards, because I had no use for them. The corrugated paper I'm keeping and the small wood for the fireplace. Bev came to dinner and we had a very pleasant time - Started with burgundy, followed by meat loaf, corn, mashed potatoes, salad, ice cream, coffee. After dinner we talked and then put up the crib. It fits into the bedroom very well, and Wendy is all cosily tucked in now and fast asleep. She was so sleepy at supper time that she only took 3 oz. of her bottle, so I fixed her another 4 oz. a few minutes ago, and she took it all with eyes tightly closed. Darling, I hope by now that your mail has caught up with you I hope [pg 3] there won't be any real long gaps in your mail to us. If you can let me know - I'm going to write up the Log now - Goodnight my dearest one. I love you- Bobby Oct. 2 ‘43 To Denver right after lunch. Ordered our Christmas cards, bought dish towels and snapshot album - visited baby left and had dinner at the Canton village with the Rycliffs. Oct. 3 ‘43 Started off in “Uwasa” with the Deanes' in the rumble seat. Visited Central City, Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Silver Plume, Buffalo Bill's grave on Laokaut Mt. and ended up with supper in Golden. Bev said tonight that our house looked lived in and like a home, while hers was just a place to come home to - Darling, I'll try to keep it that way always.
