276 May 26 - 10:15 P.M. Saturday Dearly Beloved: Late start tonight - I was just ready to begin my letter to you when the Special Man arrived, with your answer to my letter about Walter (he by the way expects to go out in about a week). I took it over to read to Helen, and by then it was time to go down for the evening mail. There was another letter, two envelopes - one typed letter I'm returning, the other the sling shot for Bobbie. There was a letter for Helen too, so I had to stop next door after I got back - We read parts of our respective letters back and forth, and howled with [pg 2] delight when I opened the envelope containing the sling shot - I hope Bobbie doesn't demonstrate it for Wendy's benefit! Wendy, by the way wore the sunsuit today that Jean May gave her - remember the one with all the ruffles across the fanny - Took some pictures for you and Jean. #230 Eleven letters! That really was a haul, and I'm waiting anxiously for the promised answer. Helen was pleased to hear that you’d written Walter - Up to her last letter from him postmarked the 22nd he’d had no mail from her, and she does write every night. Pictures of you are my first love, so please go ahead and have as many taken as often as [pg 3] you can. #229 Sorry to hear about Charlie and Evan leaving- will be fun to see them if they ever do get the transfer and come thru CASA. The new C.O. sounds promising - I hope he proves to be so. Do you have an Officer's liquor mess now, or was the Three Feathers some you’d brought from Hawaii? I know I met Coughton, and remember your mentioning him, did he ever stop by at any house in Boulder, or did I meet him on the campus? Who has taken McGinty's place in the quonset? I hope you’re right about your not being pulled out at least for a little while more. I was just today thinking about our next phone call, about us, and now [pg 4] I'm sure, well almost that Wendy will make noises for you - Of course that little scamp is quite unpredictable - Today she picked up the Time with Admiral Daenitz's picture and said smilingly “Da-dy!” Haven't read the report on the school yet - look forward to doing so with breakfast tomorrow morning. The letter from Cottrell sounds promising- Wendy and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary today - this afternoon half way to town, the stroller broke down completely, and I had to carry Wendy the rest of the way dragging the stroller behind me. I got the [needed?] screws at a hardware store, (that's the only place I can get [pg 5] them these days) and one of the clerks made the necessary repairs. Next Fall, I'll probably have to hunk this one, and try for one of the all metal jobs coming on to the market now. I don't quite know what to do about the buggy - have grown very attached to it - its in good condition even after all this wear, and I’d sort of like to keep it for our next sprout - especially if we should be living out here on the coast. Seems to me, I had so many things to write about tonight, but now I'm sleepy and can't think very well. Its so good to get mail just before going to bed. Lets go together now- I love you with all my heart - I adore being married to you- Bobby
