426 October 11 - Thursday - 9:45 P.M. My Dearest Darling: I love you so much - and its so hard to wait - The days just can't go fast enough, if I could just push them along, even a little bit. This uncertainty is the worst part, if I just knew what day, or even definitely what month. I think I could settle down a bit, and not go haywire every time the phone rings. The change in the point score should come out soon, and then maybe we will be a bit closer to knowing for sure how much longer we’re going to have to wait - I'm not giving up hope for Christmas yet, and won't [pg 2] I guess til the very day. This has been another half-drizzly day. Wendy and I whizzed downtown in the hour of sunshine we had this morning, did a bit of marketing and paid our bills. Whenever possible now I try to order a heavy load of groceries (canned goods, baby food, potatoes etc.) and have it sent up, so that I don't have too much to carry. Saw Harriet, Jerry's sister in town - she is leaving to go back to Conn. next week. Jerry has a bad cold, and they’re watching it carefully, because she had a bout with pneumonia this time last year. Reinie has been made chief surgeon a the hospital - he's been out almost seventeen months, and has enough [pg 3] points for a discharge so he should be getting out and coming home very soon now. I hope you are not having storms like this week's on Okinawa. It sounds pretty awful. How long does the typhoon season last? In your Christmas box, you will find one or two little toys wrapped without cards which you can give to a couple of youngsters. Before you leave, will you please try to get pictures of the flower beds at the school, the inside of your Quonset and also your office - They are all things I’d very much like to see. Damn this distance - how I’d love to just plain every day talk with you. I feel your presence [pg 4] more in our little house now, than at any time since the first [night?] we moved in. I wonder which side of the bed you’d like, picture you standing in front of the bathroom mirror shaving, coming in the front door, carrying Wendy to bed, enjoying our after breakfast cigarets in the kitchen with the sun coming in - oh so many wonderful thoughts, and soon they are going to turn into realities. If I keep on in this vein, I'll never get to sleep tonight - anticipation is very stimulating, and once I get started I lay awake day dreaming for hours. Send me that cable soon! A big, big hug, and our very best kiss - I love you- Bobby
