133 Jan. 18 - Thursday - 8:15 P.M. My dearest darling: Am feeling very luxurious tonight with a whole carton of Pall Malls plus two big Hershey bars - from the Fort Ord Commissary. No mail today from you, but a nice letter from Muz. She is a bit concerned about Doug, and whether or not he is considering [Frances?]. She's asked me about it, but I've steered clear - I don't know her well enough, and anyway it isn't my place to make any oral judgments. Expected to take Wendy to Fort Ord for a shot this morning, but when I called, they said they were too busy - So I phoned Dr. Lusiguan (he's been just swell to me) and he told me to bring Wendy over at 11. She got diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and cold vaccine all at once! Helen and I shopped around and then came back. Bev and Isabel arrived about ten o'clock. They had a good trip until yesterday - when Bev slid on in, and smashed the front of the car into a truck, mashing it quite [pg 2] badly. Then, they couldn't find a place to stay last night, and had to sleep in the car. Took Wendy downtown this afternoon - and found our ration books at the Village Bookstore! On our way home we met Chuck, and he pushed the carriage up the hill for me. He is leaving soon - expects to be in the Marianas - and will be sure to look you up first thing if he can. He is a pleasant fellow, and I'm sure you’d enjoy his firsthand account of how we are making out. Wendy is wearing her pink Dr. Denton's tonight for the first time. They are still too long in the legs, but the rest fits fine and she looks like a rosy cherub. Her mummy is very tired now, and quite ready to go to bed. Hope there is mail from you tomorrow, so I'll have something to write you a big long letter about - I love you so very much - surely that love will bring you back to me soon - Bobby 18/42 Letter from Bev - Bud has been transferred to Monterey, Calif. And they are going to plan to spend a night with us, on their way to the coast. 18/43 Beautiful warm day - cake and chatter with Betty - short visit with Toni - Walked up hill with Simone and Joanie.
