326 July 7 - 9:00 P.M. Saturday My Dearest Darling: This afternoon while Wendy was napping I sunbathed out on the patio, and wished for a Special - And what do you know - just after I finished telling myself that “a watched kettle never boils” up the hill clugged the SM in his jalopy! I could almost see you laughing at my surprize. Chances of your getting back in 3 or 4 months…I hope you’re right sweety. I'm not going to think about it tho, and won't believe anything more I hear, til I know you are on your way. Once you get back here, I think there's a good chance that [pg 2] you wouldn't have to go out again - or if you did it would probably be as a replacement. There is no preparation for anything going on at CASA now, so its reasonable to assume Navy MG isn't going out on any more big operations. Lt. Robinson, who is on the Staff - said they were just marking time, and waiting for the whole thing to fall apart. Coach Hager seems to think that even if that happens Casa will still be used for replacements rather than Pearl. The Corrigans are on outs with their landlady, but can't find anyplace to move to. Haven't heard anything at all recently about Barbara's book. Thank you for the pictures - I'm always glad to get them. [pg 3] I will order the plans for the playhouse - No, I haven't ordered the other things, but I have all the clippings and will get around to it one of these days. On our way down to the beach I picked up #264. The picture of me in the hula skirt was terrible. I looked like a flour sack tied around the middle, and there was a shadow across my face, which made me look as if my front teeth had been knocked out - I tore it up - Several people remarked on my tan while I was in town today - I hope you get home to see it, before it fades during the winter. I don't know why I'm so pleased with it. You will be pleased to hear that Helen Frankel is coming to visit on the 16th. The Etter-Frankel menage is no more, and Helen is [pg 4] quitting her job next Saturday - Charlie is phoning her tomorrow - says that Riley Ewing is as good as on his way back to the states right now. I'm awfully glad she's coming, it will be fun to see her again, and have her meet Wendy. Mailed you “God, Mammon and the J” this morning, and forgot to tell you that earlier this week I mailed another pair of pajamas. Saw Dana at the P.O. this morning, and she said that she thought Steve had left, because she's had no mail from him. I'm all sand itchy - guess I'll take a bath and read for awhile. Dreamt of you last night - you were back at CASA and phoning me - and I wish you could have seen the mess the bed was in when I woke up - like the night you left for Washington - Lots of love from both your sweeties - Bobby
