100 Don't know if I've skipped any numbers or not. Wednesday Dec. 20 - 3:00 PM. “Val remarked tonight on how much Wendy looks like you.” My dearest darling:- Wendy is on the floor, stretching up and talking to the tree. Received your letter about Harry and Bob today also the claims. Spoke to Lt (jq) Cannon over at Del Monte. I'm sending everything over for him to check - if all is in order he will send it on to Washington. Also received ‘Me Spik English’ from Tom Murfin, but haven't had time to do more than glance at it. Fran is on [Auga?], Palau, and his address is Navy #3257, FPO San Francisco. I'm mailing you this afternoon along with an envelope of clippings two notebooks. Why don't you use one for a snapshot album? Just lightly paste the snapshots on office paper - cut to size and punch holes? Helen is coming on the 30th and will be here til the 4th. Sure will be happy to see her again. Have been sleeping miserably the last few nights - and you'll laugh at this - when I woke up this morning I was on [pg 2] my back with one of my two pillows on me and my arms around it. T’aint no substitute - I want the real thing - so please hurry, hurry home - I'm going to be in a bad way at the end of 18 mo. Marge walked downtown with us this morning to do some shipping, and presented Wendy with a pair of bunny slippers and two pairs of training panties that were too small for Pat. I'm going over again tonight - yesterday I baked some cookies to take along - and tonight I'll contribute some carrots. Paula and Keeo left this morning - leaving me a whole bunch of stuff they couldn't pack. More later - to the P.O now Wendy's just finished her supper - sure keeps me hopping - have to jig and act like a pixy in general to keep her laughing while I'm getting everything ready. No mail this afternoon, but we received a present jointly from Jean, and I've put the package under the tree. Wendy stayed with Pat while I went downtown - wish you could have seen them. They get along beautifully and are such fun to watch. Don't think there is anything like a baby [pg 3] unless it is two of them! Made an appointment for a permanent next Tuesday. Am going to have it done the same way - Then after Helen leaves I'll have some pictures takes for you -small ones that can easily be carried around. 10:00 P.M. Just got back. Marge had me in convulsions practically - it was a good thing too - I've had a nasty ache low down in my tummy all day - it's probably just tenseness, and I'm going to try and sleep it off. Gosh darling, I'm missing you very, very much tonight - sometimes the stretch ahead seems endless, and this is one of those times. You've been right with me all day - so very close - If I could just feel you and love you nothing else would matter. Goodnight my darling - come to me tonight - I need you- Bobby 19/42 Went down to the Luke's with Warren and had a glimpse of Jim and Sandy - home to try and get organized a bit Met Warren at 5:30 and we went out to the Robbins’ - turkey dinner - cordial and fire - felt so good to relax - back to J.H. 19/43 Spent morning doing last night's dishes - dinner at Wayne's - Found home for little girl kitty (a Christmas present for a little buy) Light snow. 20/43 Lunch on the hill - Christmas shopping - to the Canyon to get some more green label for our egg nog - Anniversary check from M and F. Love your cards ‘they’ do, don't they!
