138 January 23 - Tuesday - 8:00 P.M. Bob Falk just phoned - he wants to bring his wife and daughter here - and asked if he could come see Wendy and me some time this week-end My dearest darling: So disappointed - no mail again today. Seems as if it's always when I need a boost most the mailman holds out. I met Gerry and Dick on the way down - we were both optimistic, but no go. Right now I'm feeling just a bit loopy, and sort of dull - had a drink with Helen late this afternoon and another 1 ½ after putting Wendy to bed. It's not any fun drinking alone, but at least it dulls me to my feelings - which are especially acute now that you are away. No matter how much it helps, I won't do this often - feel sort of ashamed at my own weakness. Bev came up just as Wendy was finishing her lunch to say that the car was at the garage, and we wouldn't be able to ride. However, we are going tomorrow and tennis on Thursday - Here's where I get all that muscle back again. [pg 2] Wendy and I spent most of the afternoon with Marge and Pat. The latter navigates very well for his age, but has [a head?] covered with bumps and bruises. Wendy sprout will probably not fall as hard - because I think she is going to be quite petite. It delights me to see how dainty she is - even with graham cracker all over her face. Walter just came over to return a magazine and borrow tonight's paper. They are learning to drive 6 shift trucks. It really looks as if they are going around in circles out there. Wish you could get transferred to a job in Washington. What would even happen if you just requested a transfer? Surely there are many men in Washington who would like to change places with you - at least from all the talking they do it would seem so. Don't scold me now - It's good to say what I feel for a change. I love you so much darling that I’d do anything to have you with us again - we need you a hell of a lot more than those [Roman?] name cards, no matter what the Navy thinks. All our love darling, and a big kiss from your big and little sweeties - Bobby
