457 November 11 - Sunday - 8:30 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Have kept so busy today that I've hardly had time to think - But know sitting here quietly watching the fire and listening to the Standard Hour I am full up with love for you, and the delights of anticipation. We got at 9:30 this morning, had breakfast and tore down to the P.O. (No mail from you, but the two enclosed letters) then home to rake up the backyard and fuss with the patio plants. At one-thirty we had lunch, and then Wendy went down for her nap, while I settled down to some sewing. I retrimmed my red housecoat, made Wendy four Turkish toweling bibs, mended a badly torn dress, and repaired half dozen of [pg 2] little sweetie's cotton panties. Of course she woke up before I was half thru, and I worked under difficulty - keeping her away from the machine, [sa?sois?] etc. The sewing finished, I wrote to both Doug and Muz. Wendy wore her new size 2 pink sleepers tonight, and after dinner came in here so that you could admire them, and to say “nigh’ nigh’”. She looked like a picture baby. I can't decide whether I like her best in pink or blue. The former brings out the color in her cheeks, and the latter, her eyes. Since Doug and Valerie plan to be married before Christmas, I suppose we’d better send them a gift jointly. Any ideas? As for a wedding fit I've asked Muz for suggestions as to what they might need and want, and added [pg 3] that we will send our gift after you get home, so that we can pick it out together. And sweety - will you compose a telegram and send me the message to send them from here on the 14th? Congratulatory messages may be sent now. I think its fun that the dates of their engagement and wedding anniversaries will be so nearly our own! We'll have to have a big double celebration some time. The Benson's house has been rented already, and the people are moving in next Saturday - an Army sergant, wife, 4 yr. old daughter named Sharon, and baby-to-be, late in the spring. I hope that the little girl and Wendy will be able to play together. Oh sweety, its so good to know that you really will be coming home soon. I love you with all my heart- Bobby
