42 Saturday Oct. 28th 8:30 P.M. My dearest darling: Be proud of me- I just checked our book with the bank statement and we agree! I could hardly believe my eyes, but it's true ‘cause I checked twice - And you never said anything about the [bat?] episode and I thought you would be so pleased- Darling remember a year ago tonight when your presents were all on the mantle, and you unwrapped your pipe after dinner because I couldn't wait - oh how I hope we can be together this time next year. Had no further word about Muz so I'm sure she is alright - will write to her later this evening. We had no letter from you today, but the Christmas cards (please tell me who to send them to) and lovely colored postcards mailed Oct. 4th arrived - I'm sure I would love Hawaii and hope we'll be able to go back sometime not too far away. [pg 2] This afternoon Bev was here, sewing on a costume - she and Gil are going to a masquerade tonight. I had Mrs. Price in for a spaghetti supper - she's been awfully nice - and just loves Wendy. The button-nose is fine, and gets more active every day so that now I have to spread a full sized blanket on the floor when I put her down to play. Her bald spot doesn't show anymore and her head is all covered with fine silky very light brown hair. Her little round cheeks are rosy-and eyes very bright - Her feet seem to be growing all of a sudden. This afternoon I spent some time in the library - saw Dr. [Sissou?] - a very professorly type. Picked up what looks to be an interesting book entitled ‘Japanese Girls and Women’ by Alice Mabel Bacon. Bought some bordered dish toweling and I'm going to embroider the borders on them 2 each for Muz and Mother for Christmas. Will also get Muz wither tray china, [?] tray, nightie, or bed jacket - haven't decided on Mother. The fog is in - have a fire in the [pg 3] fireplace - and my darling I'm missing you so. If I only had some month to look forward to, so I could plan for something. One of the hardest things for me to reconcile to is a blank space til you tell me when you will be home with us again. Tomorrow I hope to find a few hours to sit down to the typewriter and start a magazine article that's been whirling around in my head. If I think I have anything will send it on to you for criticism, before playing around with it - If I'm not satisfied at least I'll have it out of my system. The flower is from the bush outside our door- Goodnight my dearly beloved - sleep well with me and our love- Bobby
