28- Friday [10/13] 1:45 My dearest darling: Four letters from you this morning XII-XV, and I was so relieved and pleased. Your letter describing the writing room, phonograph etc. had a sizable [?] cut out of it and the coral and flower did not arrive. [Nimitz’s?] headquarters was also cut out - why I don't know, because it's common knowledge. The news of bowling in and around [F?] is good, and I suppose means you will be going out. I do hope you will get an interesting assignment. Honey, just happened to think if there should be children where you go - let me know, and I'll send some things out to you that they might like, as a special contribution from Wendy and me. Enjoyed your letter to Will because it told me so much I didn't know, I wrote a P.S. to send along, and asked Will to phone me when he got to San Francisco. Your professional books have not yet reached Monterey. They wanted to collect $52 from me for the crib and carriage, but I told them to write Brooklyn, as I have no bills of loading. Mother and Father have started a subscription to The Times for me - will see [pg 2] about PM. Amerasia is not coming here - will see if I can get a subscription to the New Yorker. Muz said she would change the address on Time when she got back to Memphis. I will try to make ‘The Dem. Spirit’ my next book. And, the books I sent are a birthday present. I do hope you can get a phone call through - don't know about Wendy talking - she might cry, and then we wouldn't be able to hear each other. I have her on 3 meals a day now, because she was leaving so much of her bottles. I'm following the list of foods Dr. Wilkie which means little pixie gets fruit and egg day after tomorrow. Dr. [Lusiguan?] is very slow, so I will just have to fib to him. I got another roll of film in Monterey yesterday, and left one to be developed. Marge wants me to take up golf with her over at Pacific Grove, and I will as soon as we can get someone to stay with Jeff and Wendy. I think his companionship will be good for her, and he should be able to teach her a lot. [pg 3] I'm going to start in on the garden this Sunday, and am going to stop at the florist from some information this afternoon. Guns are being set off at Ord., and they shake the house every few minutes. Mother wrote this morning, and said our radio was going to be shipped out today. The library is so good here - has just about everything, and I make about two trips a week - loading the buggy each time. I hope last night's letter didn't disturb you - I'll try not to get down, that far, anyway, very often. We’re really managing surprisingly well. Always hold my hand when you go walking - we take you with us always. To the P.O. now- With all our love- every bit- Bobby
