328 Monday - 6:45 P.M. July 9 - My Dearest Darling: We've had a bit of excitement today - its really sort of funny. When we came home from town this afternoon I discovered that someone had been in our ice box, taken all our eggs, leaving only two broken, all but one bottle of coke, and dumped a bottle of milk on the ground. I was sore as hell, and got it out of my system by washing all the living room windows. About six Gerry came storming up looking very harassed, and the story came out. Dickie and two or three of his little playmates came down here, and did the mischief for lack of [pg 2] something better to do! Gerry brought me three eggs, and the cokes, and just awhile ago another one of the mothers phoned to apologize and to promise more eggs, tho I told her not to think about it. Dickie and this other little boy have both been roundly spanked and sent to bed without supper. I feel rather badly about that, but realize that I would feel the same way under similar circumstances. Wendy has been making big strides today. This morning when I took off her very wet night time panties I said “Phew!” Wendy wrinkled up her nose and said “Dew!” At noon she had her first lamb chop and loved it, [pg 3] and yesterday she ate banana without having it mashed. This afternoon when she thought I wasn't watching she walked a third of the way across the room before falling down with a thud. Wendy received another box from M and F this morning. M sent her a perfectly lovely 3 piece [B?d] cloth snow suit - cap, zippered and belted jacket, and pants with suspenders and patches over the knees - all in a pretty shade of Alice blue. Also sleepers for next winter, barettes for her hair and some magazines for mummy. I wish we had gone to the beach this afternoon, but [pg 4] instead we paid bills around town and went to the library. 9:15 Almost forgot to tell you that I bought Wendy's first toothbrush today - big as a [?] with a bright red handle. Watch for the July 2nd issue of Life, there's a good article on Guam and another on Burl Ives. I wasn't able to buy one, but borrowed Mrs. Price's. No mail again today, but I'm going to walk down to the Post Office in a little while. Tomorrow I go to the dentist, and I'm not looking forward to it one bit. I hope Wendy doesn't have much trouble with her toofies. A big and little heartful of love from your sweeties- Bobby
