36- Sunday 7:15 Oct. 22nd [?] To the doctors for another shot - to lunch with [Warr?] and the Mays. 22/43 Book Four Comprehensive My dearest darling: Did you see the sunset tonight? It was glorious - a wonderful pink-red. Marge brought me #24 this morning, as I was having breakfast. It did help darling, and I've been rereading it all day - especially saying you’d be home bye and bye - doesn't make it seem so long. You were so right ‘tho always so in a dogged little undertone of emptiness and desolation.’ You are also very right when you write ‘human nature doesn't change, but human beings do and so do civilizations.’ Your letters are helping to clear my mind - a sort of housecleaning - so that I can better know what I really do think - That's a big achievement, and all the more wonderful because you are doing something physically away from me, that we never quite got at when we were together - yes - I do believe we are getting someplace. This has been a very busy day I did a huge washing (including my nighties which are put away til you come home again - in the meanwhile I prefer your pyjamas) also made [pg 2] two pairs of kitchen curtains - the flowered material trimmed with a ruffle of the blue and white check. Mrs. Price came in on her way to church, and brought me two lovely full blown talisman roses. Bev came up about 2 to use the sewing machine and we took some pictures of Wendy in her pink and white checked dress. When Bev left I bathed, played with and fed little sweetie - then supper for me - Finished ‘The Tempering of Russia’ and have pit packed ready to mail to you tomorrow. Also got Wendy's book up to date and put in some snapshots. Tomorrow I'm going to make an appointment at Dr. Hugh's - found a hole in one of my front teeth - It's in back- can feel it with my tongue. Will also pick up a copy of ‘Pat the Bunny’ - just arrived at ‘The Village Bookstore’ and I want to get it while the getting is good. Honey, you would have laughed last night to see me trying to uncork a sherry bottle. It took me almost half hour and then I had to push the darn thing in - but the sherry was good - at least it put me to sleep. [pg 3] I'm still missing letters 18 and 23 - the latter I want particularly, because it will be about the phone call. Sure do hope it won't be too long before you’re able to put another one thru. Wendy's head has rounded out in back, and has a soft fuzz over the bald spot - in another month or so we should be able to tell whether or not her hair is going to be curly. She is so pretty darling, and such a satisfactory daughter - I can hardly believe she is ours! She will be perfect when you get back - old enough to toddle beside you and enjoy a pick-a-back. She doesn't seem to be afraid of anything - and whenever she is startled, I laugh and then she with me. She loves play, noises, and is just right your popping sound - I can't do it. Oh well - we'll save it for the next one. Goodnight my dearest darling - I love you so much - Bobby
