189 March 9 - Friday - 8:00 P.M. My Dearly Beloved: Have been missing you so much all day long - it's been a particularly beautiful spring day - the kind that lifts you right up, and carries you along with it. Wendy's cold does not seem to be bothering her too much, but tonight she cried for almost an hour straight. I had just about given up hope when she fell asleep - completely exhausted, and her hair in damp wisps all over her head. She is sleeping quietly now, and her head feels nice and cool. I'll be so happy when she can talk, and tell us what is bothering her. No mail from you, but we did get a package from M and F with an Easter bunny for Wendy, celluloid red fish and swan for her bath, and a box of sherry chocolates - too many of which I've eaten already - The last a chocolate peppermint reminds [pg 2] me of the good ones we got from Baner's in Denver last year. Speaking of chocolate - I bought an Easter egg decorated with yellow chick and flowers this afternoon - wish I could send it to you - never mind if you’re home next year we'll get the biggest one to be had. The first wild lilac I've ever seen is in bloom all over town - the flower is the same color, but very tiny - smells sweet; and I've cut some for the living room. I'm reading a very good book now “Why Japan was Strong” by Patric. It's one of the few books on the subject I've read recently which makes any real sense to me. Bev and Isabel walked up this evening to bring me a bag of groceries and stay for a cigarette and drink. I used a little more than a jigger per glass, and it was just right. When you get home we’re going to start having a drink every night before dinner - it's a pleasant habit don't you think? Steve wrote Dana that he’d seen Fran and heard all about you and us in Carmel. All my love darling, and please hurry home to me - Bobby
