177 February 26-Mon. 7:30 P.M. [FLOWER] Planted this bus last Oct. and now it's over a ft. high with these blossoms coming out. My Dearly Beloved: Letter this morning promises a long one soon - hope it's tomorrow. Stopped by to see Bev, and went shopping and had an ice cream cone. My ring wasn't ready, so I told the clerk I wanted it fixed or not tomorrow. If it hasn't been made smaller I'm going to put it back in the bank. This afternoon we received a box from M and F containing 4 sweaters for Wendy - pair of overalls, shirt, dolly, and a pair of playshoes for me. Bought Bev a can opener like mine, but guess I picked the wrong time to deliver it. She's been tearing around with one of the CASA men from Princeton - Dick Somebody or other who has a wife and two babies in Chicago. It was quite a comfy little scene I [pg 2] walked in on, but I think I carried my part off very well - at least I didn't look embarrassed - and Wendy is always good. We stayed for a cigarette, and then left. Damn it all darling - no matter how long you are away, I just couldn't have even the smallest part of anything like that - and I don't think I'm too straitlaced- Shortly after we got home Gerry and Dickie stopped by and stayed for about an hour - She received a big box from R. today containing many things the Gooks had made. Wendy and I were invited to dinner next Sunday. Dickie had a fine time playing with little sweetie, and she giggled so hard, she could hardly contain herself. She just loves children - in fact she loves just about everyone, and always has at least one or two people standing around the carriage or stroller talking to her. I enjoyed both the enclosed articles - I sure do wish the Navy would let you stay right where you are, but I suppose that's asking too much- Just noticed that Wendy has left toofie marks, all around the cap of your pen - It's a wonderful teether. [pg 3] Felt like a real plutocrat tonight - The Johnstones and Coomers went fishing yesterday and came back with a mess of bluefish. They gave the Bensons some, and Helen brought two over for me to have for dinner with a glass of white wine. They were excellent broiled - and the wine was so good - it's the first white wine I've ever had - think I like it better than the red. When you get home we'll experiment with the different wines and see which we like best. I’d like to spend about three months here in Carmel with you - but I don't know how we’d ever finance, such an expedition. Oh, well, that's you department now - and I'm not going to worry now about something so far distant. Hell, I keep thinking of next March, and it isn't even this March yet. It feels as if you've been gone more than long enough already. Hurry home my darling - I need you and love you so very much- Bobby
