58 Friday - Nov. 10th 9:30 P.M. My dearest darling: I miss you so much - feel all tied up inside, and so afraid - would do anything to be with you - If I can just keep faith until you are back with me- This has been a full day - Marge and Jeff took us downtown - there was a letter from you, but still you say nothing of receiving more mail - We went to the bank, and then came home. Paula and Keeo came over and we had coffee and doughnuts. At 12:30 we went up to stay with Jeff while Marge went over to Fort Ord to have an allergy rash looked at. She was gone til 3:30, and I had lots of fun playing with the two babies. When Jeff woke up from his nap, Wendy and I went in - and got him dressed. I put both babies on the bed during the process - and they patted hands gently. Then with a baby under each arm (you would have loved that picture!) we went into the living room. Jeff is just about ready to walk, and is quite a handful to take care of. I put Wendy in the Taylor [pg 2] Tot for a short while, and she loved it. When Marge got back, we came on home and went downtown with Paula - no more mail, but we enjoyed the ride. It's been raining intermittently all day, but the sun comes out periodically. Wendy doesn't seem to mind the rain at all - I just bundle her up in her [bunting?] and she keeps snug and dry- Did I tell you that she tries to pick the stone out of my ring, and the stripes off your pyjamas? I took her into bed after her breakfast - and neither one of us got any more sleep - She is very strong, and when her fist lands on you - you know it. The news is bad today - everyone's morale is going to be undermined if it keeps up. The commentators seem unduly pessimistic. That combined with falling off a week early if probably what ails me tonight. If you have anyway of getting the name of a sedative for me I wish you would because I'm so tense it's physically and mentally uncomfortable. There isn't any reason for me to go to a doctor - I guess it's just a natural reaction. I am going to mail you some more [pg 3] newspapers tomorrow - I hope they get through. Sweety-don't ever hesitate to send even a line or two - it means so much to get even your briefest note. I feel a surge of relief run through me every time I see your airmail envelopes in our mailbox. If only those boxes could talk - what stupendous stories of human emotions and experiences they would tell. It's 10:00 now - the only time time really seems to move fast is when I'm writing to you - I think of you always - especially when I go to bed - and when I wake in the morning the first thing I do is curl up beside you because I know you’re in bed too - Think of me so I'll dream of you - I cherish each one - those times together no one can take from us - not even the Navy! Goodnight, my darling Wendy's daddy - we love you so much. Bobby
