116 Jan. 3 Wed. 12:15 P.M. Thank you for the hibiscus Just knew you’d find a way! Did you draw it? Hi darling: The freight is here! Mr. [Wermuth?] knocked the tops off the two crates, and I found your books. Tomorrow morning I will go down and unpack them, and the box should be off to you early next week. It is going to cost us $2.50 each month to keep the stuff stored. 8:30 P.M. Honey, I'm so disappointed. Wendy and I were all set to have the pictures taken. I wore my new pin, and Wendy accidentally scratched her face on it. The scratches looked too bad to photograph, but later this afternoon they were hardly noticeable. We will try again on Friday - the pictures ought to be especially good after all the trouble we've had getting them taken. The dividend check arrived - $104.55- isn't that wonderful! I'm putting it in our checking account - When I get that up to an end of the month $250 balance, I'll start to work on the savings account. Forgot to tell you, Wendy's bonnet arrived safely. Got a prescription for the Seconal. Walter got it from Dr. Olsen when he went over to Ft. Ord. I won't use it often, but I'll be glad to know I have [pg 2] it to fall back on - a large number of men are leaving this week and another next [GAP] Self-censored - was writing about something Walter told me - and decided I shouldn't - if you keep these letters I’d love to have you stay right where you are, but you probably wouldn't. When you get back to Hawaii would it be less complicated for me to phone you? I phoned M and F tonight, and got the call thru in 20 minutes. Their past few letters sounded sort of blue - and they sure were glad I called. Counted our pennies tonight, and we've save $3.75 worth in the past four months. I mailed our Christmas cards to you in 3 2 oz. packages. Didn't bother to send the batch from my college friends. Sleepy tonight because you know why - right on time again! Guess I'll read in bed for awhile. I love you lots and lots - Wendy and I send you two big bear hugs and kisses to match- Bobby
