48 Thursday Nov. 2 3:00 P.M. My darling: I've been wanting to write all day because I've been feeling so lonely - Why I don't know because the extra Christmas cards, second Christmas box and your 32nd letter arrived this morning. Letters seem to take six days. I do hope my mail has started catching up with you. I started to write as soon as you gave me the address, and I think I wrote the first letter about the 19th. You would have laughed to see us coming home this morning the big box in the carriage. Wendy was completely hidden. We were stopped several times this morning, by people who wanted to talk with her - sometimes they haul forth pictures of their own babies for me to admire. I love reading about the children - kites are unobtainable - how bout toy dishes etc. for playing house and model airplanes. Let me know - toys are quite plentiful and probably will be til after Christmas. Hope you don't get dengue - if you have to be sick, please wait til you get home, so I can pop you in bed and take care of you. Bought Father a box of glacé fruit for his birthday, and will send it from [pg 2] the three of us. If Charley hasn't moved you must be on Tinian according to Helen - don't know [why?] that should be censorable. Seems to me that everything I think should be censored isn't and vice-versa. Still no news about our freight - wrote Mother and asked her to phone the Supply Officer at the Navy Yard and ask him to send the bills of loading. I've had no answer to the Air Mail Special sent almost two weeks ago. By the time the trunks arrive Wendy will have outgrown many of her clothes. We are so fortunate to have little sweetie - she is precious and so good - hardly ever cries - most of the time she just talks to herself, and always has a smile and chortle when you pay any attention to her. Wendy has a new accomplishment too, when you put her on her back she hunches backwards, and seems to cover a good bit of ground. Right now she is on the floor both legs straight up in the air, and rattle in hand making her new noise. To the P.O. now - will mail this and write the second installment tonight - Hold us close darling - we love you- Bobby
