179 February 28 - Wed. 8:00 P.M. My dearest darling: Last evening just after I’d finished writing you - Gerry stopped by on her way to the P.O. and I walked down and back with her. There was a beautiful full moon and a bright star beside it that I made a wish on. You know how sensitive I am to such things as the moon and storms - well, I think Wendy is going to be the same way. She woke up at 9:00 last night and talked and played til 12:00, just too full of energy to sleep. I felt the same way and had to take a big glass of sherry and hot water bottle to put me to sleep. This morning I received #143 together with Fran's note. We stopped by for a minute to see Bev and then went shopping. Met Kay Miller (it's her house I want to get next Fall) - she's been laid up with a wisdom tooth, and I hadn't seen her for over a week. After we got home I spent [pg 2] some time putting things away in my big suitcase to save til you come home. Found your white silk [scarf?] - ripped the seam - and presto - there is enough material for one or two things - the selection I'll leave up to you (Sent the package 1st class this afternoon) There is enough material for a blouse - short sleeves for me if you can find a clever needle woman. I looked for a simple pattern, but couldn't find one. If you can't have that done - how bout a head scarf apiece for Wendy and me? If you decide on the latter cut the material square, fold into a triangle - half of which could be used for my scarf - cut the other triangle smaller, but not too small for Wendy - then either have them painted or embroidered - Have I made myself clear? Agnes phoned - she took 6 wks. Old Pam out for an airing, and we met them at the P.O. Wendy was wearing the new sweater I made for [pg 3] her, and several people stopped to admire it. Dana got back this afternoon to stay, and she came up with Mike for a few minutes this evening. Mike is much cuter than he was last April - is beginning to talk quite well too. Dana had just received a letter from Julie Murfin - Tom at the moment is attached to an Army MG unit on some other part of the island. Is that were Henry is? Steve was still in H. late last week, but it wasn't yet time for him to leave tho his gear was aboard ship. No doubt there will be more news I can relay when he leaves - And so another month is gone - I love you my sweety for always and always- Bobby
