75 Smell! Remember the bulbs I planted year before last Monday Nov. 27 9:00 P.M. My dearest darling: Am mailing at the same time as this letter, in a long envelope pictures of the camp on Saipan (in case you haven't seen them) and an article from Good Housekeeping that I liked particularly well. This morning Wendy and I made our daily trip downtown - letter from Chris saying Jack was due for a move soon, then marketing. Bought some paper white narcissi - they smell so good, and a few extra Christmas cards. Found an awfully cute card for Wendy to send Janie, Annette, the Ruhl babies, David Ebling and ? etc. It's a big brown teddy bear with a tiny Christmas angel on his knee. After cutting our last year's list down to a minimum found we needed a few extra cards - so I bought some of the Carmel scenes. At the library picked up D.H. Lawrence's ‘The First Lady Chatterly - hope it doesn't overheat me, but I couldn't resist. We stopped by for Bev and then we came on home to a leisurely lunch of tuna, egg, tomato, and lettuce salad, cookies and coffee. After a cigarette we cut out Wendy's [?] suit, bonnet and panties. Then downtown, but there wasn't any mail. It made a full day, and I'm tired tonight. Have all the Christmas presents wrapped [pg 2] except mama's soap which hasn't arrived yet. Wendy had another crying spell at supper time tonight - can't imagine why. However, I did manage to quiet her singing ‘Rockabye Baby’ and she ate almost everything. Showed Bev your baby pictures and she agreed that Wendy looks just like you did - you will see the resemblance more and more if you don't already. Discovered a camera shop near Merle's Treasure Chest - can have pictures of Wendy and me taken there like those John took - just $1.50 for the small size which we naturally would prefer. At that rate pictures can be taken often - hope you will be able to carry them all around with you! This full moon business really does make me uncomfortable - feel restless and uneasy, and naturally my thoughts turn to you. I'm able to fill my day pretty much, but the evenings are endless and oh so lonely. I read, write and sew, but there are still big gaps that only you can fill. Last night I went through our scrapbook and snapshot album - they are both full - Am going to keep a scrapbook (the one already started) for your travels, and of course will buy a new snapshot album as soon as I can find a suitable one. Goodnight my darling - hurry home- Bobby
