218 April 5 - Thursday - 9:00 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Helen brought the mail this morning, and I had your letter and the pictures of the Korean wedding to read and look at while I was having breakfast - that is real luxury around here! I had planned to leave Wendy with Bev while I went to see Mrs. Wood at the school, but she and Jack were on their way to the beach so I had take Wendy along with me. Mrs. Wood was very pleasant, but couldn't help us out much. Sunset School doesn't use Geography books - they use the project system and the youngsters work from a reference library. She did give me fine old geography books with sections on the Far East, and I will mail them to you as soon as I get your letter. [pg 2] It was about 11:30 when we left the school, and we spent the rest of the morning paying of bills. Spoke to Gladys again, and she said she would try to get us a house by June, but I doubt that she will- with bills paid and $25 sent to Drydock our balances respectively are $243 and $357. Received an Easter present from Muz - late because the store had addressed the package incorrectly - Farberger's “Woodhue” cologne and perfume - it's a lovely fragrance, and I've put both bottles aside to save for you. Wendy napped before lunch, so I put on my bathing suit and went out on the patio for a sunbath. The sun was strong, but I didn't get much of a burn - guess I just don't have the right kind of skin. This afternoon I splurged and bought two bottles to add to our [pg 3] collection - a good Puerto Rican Rum, and 4/5 pt. of Crème de Menthe. Next month I'm going to get brandy. I've been reading books on wine - and expect to be quite an authority by the time you get home. Wendy and I met Kay Miller and Glen, and I was surprized to hear that Wally's orders came thru early. They are leaving on the 28th, Wally is taking them back to Buffalo, and then is coming back here to report on May 15th. But, we don't get the house, and that is a real disappointment - the man who owns it is coming back - Kay wants to go up to San Francisco for a day's shopping expedition, and I may go up with her. Bev has repeatedly offered to look after Wendy if I wanted to go anyplace for a few days, so I [pg 4] wouldn't hesitate to ask her for just a day. M and F are sending me a birthday check, and I’d love to spend it up there. The news is exciting to day, and the commentators are making a great deal of Russia denouncing her non-aggression pact with Japan. Wish I had your this morning letter and pictures, so I could comment on them, but Bev wanted to see them. I'll pick them up tomorrow - Yama looks like fun - the Korean bride looks so tiny - about how tall is she? Again the children are darling. I love the smiling little flower girl. Am yawning away at a great rate, so its bedtime for me. Sweet dreams my darling - I love you - Bobby
