193 March 13 8:00 P.M. Tuesday My dearest darling: This has been another one of those days, and I'm in the doldrums again. Honey, I miss you so much - just can’t make myself believe that we have such a long way to go before we are together again. I've been trying awfully hard not to be too discouraged, but it isn't easy. I've been hoping for some little word of encouragement from you, but you haven't said anything about it for several weeks. My days have fallen into a pattern of sorts, but its an awfully empty one. This afternoon Wendy and I drove over to the Commissary at Fort Ord with Dana and Mike then to Monterey and finally to Del Monte. It always hurts just a little to go there and remember the day before you left. We stopped to have milk shakes and Wendy proved almost too much for me scrambling all over the bench, and [pg 2] banging my cigarette case on the table. This is one of the hardest stages I guess for taking her out, because she's heavy to carry and isn't old enough to have ice cream of her own. She usually gets mad, and starts lunging for whatever she can reach on the table. I shouldn't really complain because she really does behave well, taking everything into consideration. This morning she gave me a big thrill. When I wake up she was standing up in her crib calling ba-bab! Ba-bab - BA- BAB- I love you very much my darling- Bobby
