461 November 15 - Wednesday - 8:45 P.M. Darling: Tonight I am tired to the point of exhaustion, and could just sit here and weep, but I'm not going to. Wendy had another wakeful night, and I woke up this morning with you know what, and in a rotten humor. Its gotten to the point now where I’d do anything for just one night of uninterrupted sleep. We set out for Pacific Grove with Vivian a little after eleven. I didn't get a thing I was hunting for - there just isn't anything to be had, and Wendy ran me ragged. I took her harness along, but it didn't do any good - she just saw all the aisles, and wanted to go running - I've resolved not to take her out [pg 2] again, until you’re home and can tote her around when she gets out of hand - she's gotten too heavy and active for me to manage. I came home limp and disgruntled, but Wendy was as chipper as ever. Muz writes that Doug and Valerie have moved their wedding day up to Nov. 30th. Doug wanted you for best man, but there isn't a chance in the world for that now. Muz said she was taking Valerie to [B?x] last Monday to pick out silver and china, and that they've rented a small, furnished apartment. It was Muz, Doug and Valerie who were at Tiny Johnston's wedding. They met Gladys, Markham and Warren, and seemed to like them all, had a fine time at the reception (Hotel Peabody) after the chapel ceremony - [pg 3] lots of champagne around. Got my fur coat and hat out of storage today, and am looking forward to wearing them again. Its been a long time since I've had occasion to dress up, and I miss it. I wear sweater and skirt and saddle shoes, all day, and blue jeans and plaid shirt at night. No mail today - letters are averaging eight days now, and it probably won't get any better before you get home. You’re going to have lots of people here in town giving you the once over after you get back - I don't know many of their names, but everyone keeps asking “When is Wendy's daddy coming home?” Soon, I hope darling, you will be able to tell me that you are on your way- I love you very much- Bobby
