245 Monday April 30- 9:00 P.M. Oh Darling: For the past few days I’ve been feeling so wretched - tired, depressed, and missing you terribly. I guess, without acknowledging it to myself, I was worried about you being tired and having a bad cold - and of course the mail had to pick that particular time to be bad. The Special man (Sammy is the little florist) just brought me your letter, and immediately I felt much better. My conscience has been pricking me slightly too, about all the Specials - so I asked tonight if he minded, and he said he didn’t mind bringing all your letters to me one bit, and I wasn’t to give it another thought. I’m awfully glad that you went to Sick Bay, and had a good [pg 2] rest. Please darling - don’t work too hard - I know its hard for you not to. I feel stale myself - this same routine gets very wearing, and Wendy has gotten to the point where she thoroughly exhausts herself and me by the end of the day. But I keep thinking of next Spring and your coming home, and that always gives me fresh strength. Sweety, the pictures cost 10¢ a print, which will mean $12.80 for the lot. Let me know if you want me to go ahead, or if you want to change the order in the meanwhile I’ll have a set made for Janie Mook. I took the geta downtown this morning, but the jewelers are so busy they can’t take time to put the pins on for me. I guess I’ll just have to wait til [pg 3] after the war. Wendy looked so precious this morning - I tied her topknot with a pink and blue rosette and tucked some little flowers in. She looked like a picture baby. I had to cut her bangs shorter, because they were beginning to tickle her eyes. She wore training panties all day today and only had one accident - it was my fault for not getting her on in time. Am reading “Forever Amber” - I should put it along side “Gone with the Wind” When I put it down I think it isn’t really worth reading, but while I’m reading I hate to put it down. Saw Bev for a minute this afternoon -Isabel is getting along nicely - I’m going to lend her a couple of my bed jackets, so [pg 4] she will have a change while she’s in bed. The gardenias are just beginning to yellow now - they still smell wonderful. Speaking of reading “G.M. and the J.” still hasn’t come in yet. I’m glad you found out about that cough of yours - hope it can be cleared up because I know how much it annoys you. Speaking of Rheinie - Helen suddenly put 2 and 2 together, and remembered that he had treated her when Walter was stationed at Quonset. Goodness - but there lots of packages coming - such fun! Today I received a package from M and F and the lady at the P.O. said laughingly, “My, you’re the “packageingest” person.” I laughed and said, she hadn’t seen anything, what with Wendy’s birthday coming up. So to bed - feeling lots better and full of precious love for you - Dreamt of you again last night - Bobby
