185 “Did you get the table napkins?” March 5 - Monday - 8:00 PM My dearest darling: Well - we got a lot done today - Wendy and I spent most of the morning trotting around town playing all our bills. When I stopped in to see Gladys - she brought the subject of a new house up herself, and promised to give me the first suitable house that becomes available. On our way home we spent a short while with Bev who planned a trip to Monterey this afternoon and asked us to go along - So - we hurried thru lunch and Wendy's nap and were ready to go by two. Helen drove us down to Bev's on her way to pick up Bobbie at school. Just as we were leaving Dana drove up to ask if we wanted to go to Monterey with her - Bev was ready when we arrived and we set out - We spent about an hour visiting Janie Robbins. Guess [pg 2] I told you that she is expecting a baby in July and has to stay in bed the whole time. She looked very well, and doesn't seem to mind too much. Next baby we have is going to be in the winter so I can have a bed jacket like hers - white chiffon velvet - smocked across the shoulders and tied with pale blue ribbon - Jaime was amazed at how Wendy had grown and at how much she resembles you - Wendy by the way attracted lots of attention all afternoon. I fixed her hair a new way - bang across her forehead and the top tied with a ribbon - and she wore white shoes, blue socks, pale blue courderoy overalls, pink skivvy shirt and pink sweater. With her three teeth and dimples showing she was just perfect. Mummy bought a lot of new things for herself - a pale pink slipover with long sleeves, a pair of brown, flat sandels, [?angers], green ribbon for her [pg 3] cardigan and a green leather over the shoulder bag! And this time she really means to carry it!! Spent my quota for the mouth, but had a lot of fun doing it. I've decided to let my hair grow til you come home, and see whether or not you like it. You've never had a chance to see it long - for that matter I haven't either, and I'm curious to see how it will look. When it gets to the awkward stage this summer I'll be able to tie it with a ribbon. Bev carried Wendy the whole time - I think she enjoys it, and certainly does love to play with little sweetie. We got home about five and spent a few minutes talking with Helen. She is pretty much upset about Walter leaving now that it is imminent, and has been having fainting spells all day - I think this period of uncertainty is one of the hardest - none being easy and all unpleasant. My periods of acute depression have somewhat lessened, and will continue [pg 4] to do so the more time we get behind us, and consequently the less time we must be apart. No mail from you today, but I am going to reread some of your letters and go to bed. All my love darling always. Bobby
