Thursday Evening My darling:- It's just 9:30 and I'm ready to call it a day, tho not a bit sleepy - The apartment still swells orangey, and I'm bout ready to bust after drinking the juice of four oranges! My three large jars of marmalade look awfully liquid, but who the ---cares. I had a good laugh out of it- Weather has been cold and [pg 2] wet- gloomy at 6:00 when I woke to hear a cat serenading KeKo right outside our front door! Pussy was on the telephone table all alert-That went on for about ten minutes - was afraid to open the door lest there be a cat brawl, and I didn't think the neighbors would appreciate it at that hour - Soon however, I heard some female slippers clickety-clacketing down the stairs and then a squeaky soprano “Why Whiskey honey, what a scare you have mummy.” - So much for that - KeKo hopped off his perch with a disgusted look - stretched out full length, and then bounced into the [pg 3] kitchen in quest of something to eat - The trip to Brooklyn was uneventful - had another doctor this time - a commander - asked him if he thought sweety(ie) would come off on schedule and he said it looked that way - let's hope he's right- Got home at 11:00, and found your Tuesday letter - took a nap and Muz and Peg arrived at 2:30 - Muz came in with a double decker coffee ice cream cone and Peg with a bunch of my favorite sweetheart roses for ‘Wendy-Warren’-Muz showed the apartment off with much pride, [pg 4] and we chattered til four o'clock. It was an enjoyable visit-I do like Peg, and think she and Muz make a good pair. At 5:30 ‘W-W’ convinced me that a real dinner was in order after all the piecemeal lunches and suppers we've been indulging in this week - So over to Aki's we went feeling very strange and alone and not liking it a bit - Tried to pretend you were with me darling, but the horse-faced individual sitting opposite me reading ‘Liberty’ wasn't much help - However, after shrimp cocktail, muffins, beef stew, mashed potatoes, spinach, salad, apple [pg 5] pie and demi-tasse, I left feeling very healthy - It was then the orange episode took place - Sweety I guess I monopolized the telephone conversation telling you about it - Makes me feel good all over to talk with you, and those brief sessions give me something to look forward to all week. Oh almost forgot - during dinner I noticed one of the waiters talking to a middle-aged man who looked like a professor - thought they were speaking Japanese so I pricked up my ears, and sure enough they [pg 6] were- “So des Ka” etc. IF I see the man again when we are over there will point him out to you- Have been crampy all day and really had them bad for about twenty minutes this morning at the hospital - feeling cold and perspiring all over - Don't mind tho ‘cause surely that's a sign that something is to come off sometime in the relatively near future- Just one more day darling, til I can say - Tonight Warren will be home - I look forward to those few hours so much - Hurry home to me dearest - I love you so- Bobby
