57 Thursday - Nov. 9th 3:30 P.M. My dearest darling: I just knew our luck would change - and it has. When I got home a little while ago Paula [K?] and Keeo had just returned - and to stay! I think she was as glad to see me as I was to see her! She asked me over for a drink and dinner tonight - and over I'll go with Wendy in her buggy. She has a lovely car, and said we’d go downtown in it for mail every day - that's such a relief - Last night I just couldn't sleep worrying about what I’d do if either of us got sick up here - now I just have to open the bedroom window and holler! I wish you could have seen Wendy and me going downtown in the pouring rain - I put the shield on the carriage and away we went. We both arrived, outside of carriage and dripping wet at Dr. Parker's. My teeth are all finished - and it wasn't bad at all. Received a letter from Mother today saying that all our stuff was being sent express and the Navy would reimburse us. I'm writing her to find out just what arrangements are being made. I phoned Monterey this morning and was assured that the bill of loading was safe. If all goes well now, your books should leave Monterey the end of [pg 2] this month. Keeo is here now, sitting on a cushion on the floor watching Wendy and asking a million questions. God - it's good to have some life around - makes me feel all settled again. Now my evenings won't be so lonely. Keeo has just been admiring your picture - is that Wendy's daddy? Etc. etc. More later - can't write and answer the questions as fast as they’re asked- 10:00 P.M. Just got home and Wendy is safe asleep in her crib. We had a good drink, but I didn't feel it - and excellent dinner. But best of all I enjoyed having someone to talk to. Just think I can call out the bedroom window and Paula can hear me. She will be here Thanksgiving and Christmas too - and that will be such a help to me. Paula is eager to make trips to Monterey, Pacific Grove, beach etc. and that will greatly relive the monotony. She is no brain trust, but understanding and eager for company with 7 years of marriage behind her (She married at 18 - her husband is 2 years older) Bill is in the Merchant Marines, and has been out 6 mo now. Paula seems to have gone thru what I am now, and is able to understand and talk to me. I feel as if a big load had rolled [pg 3] off me. Keeo really kept me busy while she was here this afternoon - even to ‘playing’ on our pianny. She was thrilled when I drummed chop sticks on the keyboard. Muz sent Wendy a cunning pink wool doggie today - She is home, and thinks it may not be as long as she thought, before she is on crutches- Am mailing at the same time as this a letter to you from Grandfather. To bed now - with dreams of you, and the letters I hope will be waiting for me tomorrow - We send you all our love- Bobby
