325 July 6 Friday 6:30 P.M. My Darling: This has been an awfully long day, and no mail from you, tho I still have hopes for this evening because Helen has already received Walter's letters of the 1st and 2nd. We had to get up at right this morning, in order to get down to the grocery store by nine. Egg only come in twice a week now, and I can only get half a dozen at a time. Because it was so early, we stopped in to see Bev, and stayed about an hour. While I was there she had a phone call, and from the connection I gathered it was someone from CASA - [“Hou”?] with a free [pg 2] week end trying to get her to go along with him up to San Francisco. Bev evidently couldn't make it, and begged off saying she had to drive up and meet her mother (Ma [McAren?] is due next Thursday) I wonder if she's going to have any trouble settling down when Bud gets home - my guess is she won't - they’re a good pair. We've had sun today and it sure felt good. I wanted to go right down to the beach after lunch, but we had to wait for the plumber, who didn't arrive til 2:30. Poor guy - he had to break the bottle in order to get it out, and charged $1.25. As soon as he left, Wendy and I started right out for the beach. It was just perfect down there, and I went in swimming [pg 3]. The water was unusually calm, and there were lots of people in, particularly daddy with their youngsters riding piggyback. I think I would have taken Wendy in, if it wasn't for her cold. I think it well under control because I've been dosing her with the sulfa left over from her last cold. Her nose has stopped running, and she isn't a bit hoarse. My sunburn is really noticeable, never having had a real one before, it intrigues me, and I keep lifting up my dress to look at the lines on my legs. Walter seems to think his application for inactive duty will go thru. He finagled around and [pg 4]had the CO write that a replacement would not be necessary. If he does get it, it will probably be fool's luck - Mostly I guess I'm just jealous as hell. 9:00 Peeked in on Wendy a few minutes ago, and she lifted her head up with a sleepy look of protest on her little face. Sometimes she looks so very much like you - the other night for instance, and I woke her up with a specially fierce kiss I just couldn't help. I'm going to walk downtown in a few minutes now, and then to bed. I love you very much darling Bobby
