56 Nov. 8 - Wednesday 5:00 P.M. My dearest darling: Two letters from you - one this morning, and another this afternoon. Your mail seems to be coming much more regularly than it did from H. Two letters every other day, and it’s such a blessing. You've said nothing more about mail from me - is it coming thru - and did you receive the photograph? Had a letter from the Navy Yard - in answer to my Air Mail Special - our stuff is still in N.Y.! Your professional books too. They expect to send the shipment this week - which means it probably won't arrive til Christmas! This morning Bev drove us to Monterey. It was hard for me, because I kept seeing you- we went to the Ration Board, shoe store, and then to Del Monte for lunch at the school - the Ships’ Store was closed, but Bev said we’d go over again on Saturday. Wendy disgraced me at lunch by leaving me with a big wet spot, on the front of my shirt - much to everyone's amusement. She looked so cunning -pink bow, pink sweater, yellow rompers and pink booties. She is on the floor [pg 2] talking now - aāh aga agagaga m-m-gā-ula-m-m-m ahm ahh ammm - m ack ha (laugh) It's such fun to listen to her. When we got home - Wendy had her nap and then we went downtown - mailed the second package of kite stuff - bought a New Yorker and fruit cake - will mail both tomorrow. Have almost finished the back of the green sweater - and I think it's going to be quite nice. Sent Jean $2 to buy Muz a flowering plant from the three of us. Do you think you will be able to call from Honolulu before St. Valentine's Day? Was so relieved to hear that you are getting fruit and salad again. Do you think it would be a good idea to take Ascorbic Acid pills (Vit. C) as reg. vitamins? 8:30 P.M. It's awfully dark up here tonight - even the Major and his wife across the way are out. I shall miss Mrs. Price, it's been a comfort to have her nearby - to be called in an emergency - and to care for Wendy when I went downtown in the rain - with all the damnable breaks we've had lately - surely something good should be in store for us. How long will you be in Honolulu - Longer or shorter than last time. I'm anxious to take Wendy to Dr. Lusiguan's next week, and see how she's been thriving on her 3 meal schedule. She looks [pg 3] and certainly feels heavier - tho I can still hold her up by her heels! She is so adaptable - today when Bev and I were having lunch I put her down beside me and with thumb in her mouth she went to sleep and woke smiling when we left. Wish I could share the Benedictine and brandy with you - save some of the Benedictine if you can - for our first drink when you get back- Have you heard the trolley song? Another day - they still seem to be going so slowly - wonder if I ever will get used to all this - but with your letters and thoughts to help me I'll get along. Goodnight darling - you are my love- Bobby 7/43 Feel better today - lunch at Wayne's - shopping - Williams, Eblings, May and Fran and Deanes in for cocoa and cookies and to show off the pussies. 8/42 Supper in Waffle Wing with Albert and Wanda - Modern Dance Recital in Auditorium with Warren (It was good too, I still remember her stance and [?tures] in that Parisian number) 8/43 Met Warren on the hill for lunch - Feel pretty rocky - hope this over soon.
