182 Later Friday Evening Oh darling: About an hour ago the phone rang and it was the Special Man calling to see if I was home. A short while later he appeared with a cheery ‘Well, here we are!’ handing me your letter mailed last Tuesday - That really does make you seem awfully close - Specials are a wonderful invention - they are a great morale builder for me- Am glad you had such a pleasant day with Rheinie - so he expects he might get his orders soon - stateside? If so I'll have to look at their house and surrounding territory more carefully, and decide if we’d like to try and get it. The rent is the same - and the value ever so much better - tho it's a block farther away from town and the beach than we are now. It's about time for me to start another box of stationery on its way to you. What happened to the cookies - did they spoil or haven't [pg 2] you received them? And the photograph - I'm so glad you like it. We'll have the next one taken when she is a year old. Yes darling, I do understand - and a great deal more than I did two years ago. The mouse reminds me of the one that used to visit me in the hospital - I can still feel that shivery run through me, and recall how I sat up in bed damning my stitches and slamming a newspaper against the night table. It's a wonder Wendy didn't get buttermilk! Now it's really shiftie (don't ask me how I ever started that) time, and my eyes are half closed- I love you my beloved sweety - each day with more tenderness and appreciation for all you mean to me - and the completeness of those things we mean to each other - Bobby
