365 August 13 - Monday - 4:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Wendy and I have just come back from town. We went to the bookstore, but couldn't get any of the books you asked for, so I will write down to Hollywood. Still the news hasn't come thru, and it begins to look as if we are going to have to carry on a bit longer. People in town feel disgruntled, its been disappointing for everyone. Two letters from you this morning, and a long envelope. I think this last handkerchief the prettiest yet. I use them as pint sized [furoshiki?] where I don't want to carry a bag, and they’re just [pg 2] the right size for that. I gave Wendy the run of the house today, taking the necessary precautions, and she had a very busy time of it. First of all she clumped around exploring each room - cookie in one hand, and red kewpie dragged by the arm in the other. I left her completely alone, and pretty soon she called “Mammy,” and trotted in looking for me. I think she got into every cupboard, and corner. 10:00 P.M. This has been such a long, weary day, and this evening doubly so. There have been no bulletins on the radio. One reporter expressed everyone's current feeling when he said, “I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Muz and Albert are back [pg 3] in Memphis. Jean is there and has a new job, but I don't know what she is doing. Doug is back from England, and due in Memphis this week. Sweety, I'm so glad you gave me some ideas for your birthday. I've gotten a very few things for a box, but nothing much. I'm going to send you one of the pipes I have here, because I want to save up for a real good one when the imports start coming in. I will mail your birthday box about Sept 1st. I know its early, but you can save it, and I don't want it to get mixed up with the Christmas mail. Golly, darling, I wish you [pg 4]could relax me tonight. I feel so tired and tense after all this staying up late, rising early, and being in suspense all day. Think I'll go to bed right now, and hope for some good news tomorrow. Goodnight darling - come to me in my dreams. I love you - Bobby
