467 November 21, Wednesday - 4:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: This morning we found a letter #375, and the green Christmas box! I brought the box home in a cab together with Wendy, her stroller, and all our parcels. I untied the box and took a peek, but didn't unwrap anything or even squeeze the wrappings. I did see your greens and sleeveless sweater in plain view, so I took them out and hung them up to air, together with Wendy's wash. The box is now safe under the desk, and will stay there til Christmas day. Was sorry to hear about the suiji fire, sweety, but as you say it could have been a lot [pg 2] worse. Just after we got home Sammy arrived with your lovely, big fluffy yellow chrysanthemums. They were a happy surprize, and made me feel festive - Thank you darling for all the loving and thoughtful things you do for and to me. Wendy and I weren't going to do anything about celebrating Thanksgiving, but I think now, we will have a little celebration. I got a two lb. rolled beef roast, and we'll drink a toast to your return to us by Christmas. Last night when I wrote you just after receiving your letter about the Williams, I forgot to mention that I had received the light blue pajamas. I wore the tops last night with striped [pg 3] bottoms, because it was too cold to wear the cut off pants. Sweety I broke another of the little green and white dishes I've been using for ash trays. We’re down to four now - if you can find two more you might tote them along home. Sharon knocked on the door this morning and greeted me with “Kin Wendy come over and play in my yard?” Here's something to amuse you, and to let me know that I'll have to watch my language from now on. At breakfast, I dropped something, and without thinking came out with “Oh fuck it! To which Wendy replied questioningly, “Buck-et?” There's a lovely sunset out over the water, and its time for [pg 4] little sweetie's bath. We'll have to arrange a late afternoon horseback ride along the beach, before we leave Carmel. 10:30 P.M. Had some black paper cut to fit the woven mats you sent to make a snapshot album. I think it turned out very nicely, and will include it in our Christmas box to M and F. Sweety, I'm torn between wanting it to be Dec. 1st so that it will be time for your replacement to arrive, and not wanting it to be Dec. 1st for fear there will be some hitch, and [BuPas?] won't send out a replacement. That's very funny reasoning I know, but the more [pg 5] I think about it, the more involved I become. Guess I'll go to bed and sleep it off- Goodnight darling - I love you with all my heart- Bobby
