460 November 14 - Wednesday - 5:40 P.M. My Darling: Wendy and mummy are both sniff-snuffling today, and had a rugged time of it again last night, but perhaps we'll sleep thru tonight. Sweety, I do hope that you have my cable by now, and haven't done anything about the job. The more I think about it, the surer I become that I’d rather not have to go out there to live, at least not right now. After living in a more or less makeshift fashion since we've been married, I'm anxious for us to have our own home with our own things, and to live calmly for awhile. Its not that I've lost my spirit of adventure, because [pg 2] I haven't, but I just don't feel like living a rugged like without the joys and fun of being near a city and all that goes with it. Oh darling, there are just lots of little reasons. But, on the other hand, if its what you really want, I guess I could make the best of it. The idea of visiting Tinian for a month or so sometimes is exciting, but I just don't like the idea of living there, or any place like it, for any length of time. Its one thing to have to live there, and quite another to be free to visit at will. No sweety, I just don't like the idea at all, and hope you are not too enthusiastic. Gladys wrote Grammy, and said that Muz was at Tiny's wedding. I imagine Doug was there, maybe Jean and Albert too. I haven't yet heard from her, and am waiting [pg 3] anxiously for her letter. Jerry stopped by this afternoon - she hasn't heard from Reni since the 4th so he may be on his way. Vivian pinned up two hems for me - gradually I am getting things done. We’re going over to Pacific Grove tomorrow. Had a letter from Helen F. today. She wants to come out to Carmel the first week in December, and wanted to know about the housing situation. I couldn't give her much encouragement, but perhaps she will come out anyway. Charlie hopes to get back soon - says its rumored that the restriction on language men is going to be lifted. Received letters today written on the 3rd and 6th. It sounds awfully [pg 4] good to hear “and from now on, just as soon as I recover my energy, my only aim is to wind up my affairs here, get packed and return to you and Wendy. 8:55 P.M. I laughed, and laughed at your Special just received. Had been thinking, that considering the recent turn of events you weren't really showing much enthusiasm, and I was beginning to wonder how long it would take to sink in. And here you answer right in the very first paragraph of your letter! I do love so to hear all about the little things you are doing preparatory to your departure. I don't really hold out much hope for Christmas, but perhaps they will press more ships into service to get men home for Christmas or at least New Years, so you won't have too long a delay on Saipan. Right now I'm concentrating on your orders and relief, and hope they arrive soon - Gird up your loins - but good! Just wait til you see my nightie - Oh Boy! Big lot of loving, darling - Bobby
