111 Dec. 29 Friday - 12:30 P.M. My dearest darling: A bright sunny day, and two letters from you 79 and 80 - I've still to get 78. Honey, there are no pyjamas to be had anywhere, tried all the shops in town, Holmans and Wards. As for a camera, I did try an ad - will write to Norman, perhaps he'll be able to pick one up or be able to find one in Denver. I would love to have pictures of you. If you do meet Commander Hurtzburg, perhaps he’d lend you his camera for half hour or so. His wife fount it in a second hand store in Monterey - but I have no way of getting over there now. Spoke to Marge just a few minutes ago - said Pat had been restless last night - probably due to the coke, beer and cake Chuck and she fed him before he went to bed! They have a number of back New Yorkers I'm going to collect this afternoon. Slept poorly again last night and had very mixed up dreams. Don't guess I'll really sleep well again til you are home. Can you apply before the 15 mo. for leave after the time is up. Or do you apply at the 15 mo. and hope it will come thru by 18? Wendy's visits to Dr. Lusiguan are running into some real money now $7.50 [pg 2] Five dollars per shot, and she gets one each time now til she is a year old. 7:10 P.M. Oh darling - three more letters from you this afternoon, and two envelopes of clippings - The last letter was written on the 26th! Did you bribe the postman? It's twice as much fun to send you clippings and have you return them with comments. Marge and I took the young ‘uns downtown this afternoon and met up with Kay and young Glen. We shopped here and there and ended up at the creamery for hot chocolate. I gave Wendy a spoonful and she kept looking for more. She is a constant delight, and way beyond Glen who is 8 ½ mo. No honey I don't brag - just in private to you! Love the wrappings from the Benedictine, will put them in the scrapbook. Will send our Christmas cards 1st class next week. Don't know about having the men in your group and their wives for tea. Their time is probably short, and they will want to be together. However, I will have Will for dinner, and see as many of the others as I can. The enclosed smell is Doug's ‘Cupid's Breath’ Sort of leaked on the envelope, but [pg 3] I couldn't help it. And darling - I look at your picture too, often with a twinkle in my eye, when I'm sitting in the big chair. Several times I could have sworn you twinkled back - what fun! Wear my ring sweety- [payhap?] some Wilsonite's husband will spot it - It's happened before. Forgot to tell you Wendy and I are at the Mulligans - They went to see a picture about a carrier. Told Chuck about the 15 mo. deal, and he said to tell you to be sure and apply well beforehand if you can - Not that I doubt you would! Are you going to be in the same tent with Charley now? Honey, it's so good to read about your Christmas - and so near the time! Glad you liked the few presents. Wendy's plane is to hurry you home real fast. Yes it is Wendy's first bonnet - and if you haven't already sent it back, don't. She meant it for you to carry around in your travels. It's just started to rain again, after being clear all day. It's sort of pleasant [pg 4] to just sit and listen, now that I've gotten used to it. The Mulligans have asked me to come over and spend New Year's Eve with them, along with Betty and Andy. I hesitated at first, but then decided to take them up on it. Made an appointment to have Wendy's picture taken next Wednesday. Am going to write M and F now, and then clip some New Yorkers for you. I love you so much - so very much Bobby
