351 July 30 - Monday - 9:30 My Darling: This evening I've been reading, and listening for the SM. And, sure enough he came just a few minutes ago bringing me your note and picture of the MG staff- Sweety, I love this picture of you - wish I could run right up and hug you big and [fine?] you look so real. I'm glad to be able to put faces to the names you've been writing about all this time. Captain Dodds looks trim and capable - the Colonel - a big bag consumed with his own importance. Every time I see a pictures of Groehn, I feel an urge to poke him in the tummy - but don't [worrify?] Sweety, I promise not [pg 2] too, if we ever should meet. I mustn't go on, or I’d let myself in for a spanking, but it will be fun to go over the picture with you. Yes, darling, I know how you feel about the pajamas - there is something so really you, in the very first wearing after they've arrived. I'll be looking for a pair soon again now. Last night Wendy was on another happy little rampage. About two, I got up and took some Seconal (dreamt of you again, but can't remember details) This morning little sweetie woke me up bright and early, all smiles and ready for a new day - I took her out to the kitchen, tied her in the high chair, gave her a piece of [pg 3] zwieback, and went back to sleep. I've been tired and irritable all day, and am hoping for a good, long, uninterrupted sleep tonight, preferably with dreams of you. M, in a letter received this morning said that Helen had phoned on Friday. Don't know how she ever made it so fast unless she flew. Got the other fuse put in, and all the lights working - feel as if I've really accomplished something. Almost bought you a tie today - fireman red botany wool, but each time I start to buy something, I think of how much more fun it will be to buy things with you. There [pg 4] are so many things I see, that I’d like to get for you - if we only knew how much longer it will be before you get out of the Navy. Well darling - I think its just about bedtime for me now, and I'm really tired. Goodnight Tinker - hug me close to you- Bobby
