430 October 14 - Sunday - 8:30 P.M. My Sweety Darling: Today didn't go at all the way planned - I was going to do some more raking and pruning outside this morning, and spend the afternoon sewing. I had barely gotten started clipping the genestia, and Martha Washington geraniums, with Wendy to help and dressed in dungarees and plaid shirt, when George Clark came whistling up the road. We spent the afternoon talking and looking over the collection of Tinian snapshots. It reminded me a bit of Fran's visits, and the conversation followed the same general lines - I was very much amused at George and his opinions of the bachelor life. I had some [pg 2] left over chicken, pear and cookies I’d made earlier in the week, so I asked him to stay for an early supper, and he seemed pleased, and grateful for a home cooked meal such as it was. He leaves for Japan by ship on Wednesday, and left here at 6:30 to bid two gal's in town a fond farewell. Wendy behaved beautifully, and George said to tell you we had something pretty special in her. I tried to catch up on the latest scuttle for you. The point score is to be lowered to either 44 or 46, and George thinks you have a good chance of getting home for Christmas, since you can easily be replaced from the pool in S.F. If you can just initiate the action fast, and have it go thru Washington quick like [pg 3] A fellow by the name of Hope, backed by Navy CASA went to Vardaman who in turn went to Forrestal, and that's how come MG is no longer exempt from the point system. If CASA men can get out, I should think Language men would be able to also - perhaps that has gone thru already. This waiting is so damn hard darling, and I know it is for you too. George doesn't expect to be able to get over to Tinian, but if he does, and you are still there, he will be able to give you a full report on us. Received three of the missing letters this morning, and know now why you sent the cable. I was disappointed to learn that my cable took a whole week to reach you. So well I know what you mean when you say, [pg 4]…all because you’re so far away and it's so hard to share things with you by long distance.” We'll be together soon tho Tink, we've just got to be. Last night after I finished writing you I felt wide awake, and damned if Wendy didn't wake up wide-eyed a few minutes later. We had a wonderful half hour laughing and giggling together, talking to your picture, and about all the scrumptious things we’re going to do when you get home. It did us both good, and I had a swell nights sleep after putting Wendy back in her crib - and I dreamt of you - tho I couldn't remember the details when I woke up - except to hold the feel of you. Please come to me again tonight darling - To bed now - a big long hug and soft kiss sweety- I love you- Bobby
