183 March 3 - Saturday - 8 P.M. My dearest darling: Showers all day - thought I’d spend the day catching up on odds and ends, but it didn't work out that way. This morning I left Wendy with Helen and took Bobbie downtown with me. Your #148 and copies of Coach Hager's letter were waiting - will answer them a little later. I did get as far as writing a letter to Muz and hemming some dish towels before Gerry and Dickie stopped by. Gerry had just received a letter from Reinie about your visit last Sunday - what did you think of the operations - That must have been pretty hard to take - quite a bit different from something like an appendectomy- Shortly after they left - Jane Falk phoned to say they were coming by, and arrived a few minutes later. I gave Bob the letter- he said that the Boulder men were [pg 2] now supervising some Japanese classes. Johnnie Kneubal got orders to Chicago which proved to be a mistake, and he now in New York again, but I don't know what he's doing. That guy sure gets around - Jane remarked that Wendy looks just like you. Little Jeannie on the other hand looks like her mother. After they left I bathed, fed and put Wendy to bed - there I settled down to my weekly glass of beer - It's funny, but one bottle of beer hits me harder than two or three drinks of bourbon. Made me so sleepy that I decided on a nap - Saturday afternoon, evening, and Sunday mornings are the hardest time of the week for me. #148 You speak of getting ready for your day with Reinie - Tomorrow Wendy and I are going to ‘Lazy Pine’ for dinner and the afternoon. I’d love love to look up the [pg 3] song for you - if I can find them I'll type copies for you- will be fun and good typing practice for me. You probably wouldn't - but I’d give anything for another fourteen months in Boulder. What do you think will come of the proposition to have MG men returned to CASA for reassignment? What do you mean by -‘CincPac has no leave policy; the advance base 15 month system applies to those who have spent 18 months at an advance [?]”? And how bout following Gilbert White's lead? “I would like to see you return here - why don't you request the Colonel to make you available on the basis of all my letters which say It would be heavenly to have you back whether or not you could be spared?” I love you my darling - love you terribly much - Bobby
