380 August 28 - Tuesday - 6:00 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Wendy's kimonos arrived this morning, and they are precious. We tried them both on, and they fit perfectly. But, will you please find out and tell us how the sash works? Took some pictures out on the patio, and this afternoon Wendy wrote you a letter - holding the pencil in a very grubby little fist. The mail is still mixed up, and I'm missing the 16th 18th, 20th and 22nd, but I did receive the 23rd today. What's this about leaving Tinian in four months, or did you explain in one of the letters I'm [pg 2] missing? It doesn't make much difference at this stage of the game whether or not you succeed Tel, all that is important is that you get home quick like. Helen and I walked downtown this afternoon with Bob and Wendy, and we ran into Doris White. As far as I could gather - the Boulder men are now under O.N.I., but still have an MG classification, which may mean that they will be used as replacements for men like yourself, but that is only a guess. The Whites by the way are going to have an offspring - probably in three or fourth months. I'm tired tonight after doing a big washing and strenuous housecleaning. I’d love [pg 3] one of your very special back rubs now - It'll probably be wanting one every night for a whole week at least after you get back. Dreamt of you again last night, but can't recall the details. The occupation seems to be going smoothly, and the news from China is good too. Tomorrow large scale forces should be landing, and I hope to get some good reports over the radio. 9:45 P.M. I've been reading, but its so hard to concentrate because so many happy little thoughts keep running thru my head. My nose and toes are cold, but soon you will be here to hug me tight and keep me warm always. I wonder where we will next, where and what you will be working at, when [pg 4] we can give Wendy a little sister or brother - whether we'll ever be able to have a whole set of crystal like the heavy green goblet - where we will meet in SF- actually how many more months it will be - but best of all the war is over, and we can start out on our own without having to worry about orders, 30 day leaves, more separation and on and on. Oh sweety, I can hardly wait - Goodnight darling - I love you so very much- Bobby
