413 September 28 - Friday - 9:15 P.M. My Sweety Tink: Enjoyed reading your last Sunday's letter with my breakfast coffee. I'm glad you aren't an avid souvenir hunter especially when it comes to knives and guns, and thank you for not telling me when you went out on patrol. Its been hot again today. We drove over to Monterey with Helen this morning. She is selling the car, so I guess our trips and afternoons at the beach are numbered. We did get down this afternoon tho, and for the first time the ocean was very calm and clear. I went in all the way, but the water was too cold to stay in long. As one pigtailed Miss about [pg 2] six put it howlingly - “Mommy it's stinging me between my legs!” And that's just where I did feel it most - funny, because usually its my ankles which react first. Wendy got all wet too. Its wonderful fun to watch her toddle along, and she hardly falls down at all any more. She has quite a daily audience, and everyone asks lots of questions about her. When Helen came over this morning she had on a long face “Too bad the language men won't be getting out. Walter feels so sorry for them.” I didn't say anything, but I could have spit. There is an epidemic of shy little jibes going around town now to the general effect of “My husband is coming home soon, too bad yours isn't.” Of all the insincere rot, that sort of thing is most unnecessary, especially when everyone is [pg 3] under a certain amount of tension. If you don't soon rescue me from this flock of magpies I'm not going to be responsible for my actions. I gather that what Helen was referring to, was the Al Nav Charlie told you about. Do you think that it is a temporary provision, and will it effect you as an MG officer? SM-A back letter catching up - still haven't received the one telling me about tentative plans for teaching and an M.G. Perhaps its waiting down there, and I shall give you an answer pronto. In the meanwhile I'm turning over in my own mind possibilities of which you have probably already written. Jerry will be pleased to hear that you got her letter - I'll phone her tomorrow. Its always so especially fun to get a before going to bed Special from you. Goodnight darling - I love you so - Bobby
