108 Dec. 26 7:30 P.M. Tuesday My dearest one: How I miss you tonight - it's one of those times I think surely there must be something I can do to bring you home sooner. Fifteen more months, and it seems like an eternity. This morning we walked downtown with Marge and Patrick - was disappointed to find a letter from Helen saying she wasn't coming on Saturday. She was asked to stay on at her job, and decided to do so. No mail from you either today, which at least explains partially why I am feeling disheartened tonight. Took my bracelet to Merle's Treasure Chest to have all the charms soldered. We did a marketing and then stopped at the Creamery for a light luncheon. Pat tore up the place in general, and scattered crackers hither and yon. Wendy played with a straw and made grabs at my potato chips. She snitched one and seemed to enjoy it. This afternoon I left her with Marge, while I went down for my permanent. I'm quite pleased with it, but wish you were here to tell me you liked it. [pg 2] Got home about five - and found a letter from Muz under the door. (Air Mail Special - mailed on the 21st) asking me to phone yesterday. I'm so sorry I missed the chance. Seems as if just about everything went wrong today. Mailed you the pyjamas this morning 1st class - because they won't let us send anything airmail that weighs more than 2 oz. There is a small presink in the pocket - which will probably be slightly the worse for wear by the time the package reaches you, but I hope you like it. Wendy learned how to really Bronx cheer today-and has been practicing all day - While she was eating her lunch she sprayed me liberally with carrots. She is so precious. I just couldn't have carried on without her. Still have 25 more of your letters to read tonight, and a number of thank you notes to write. I love you so very much darling - we just can't be separated much longer Bobby
