390 September 6 - Thurs - 9:15 P.M. My Darling: The button nose just isn't sleepy tonight, and I've just had her out here talking it over for a few minutes. Now she's back in bed, and perhaps drifting off - at least there's no sound coming from the bedroom. This morning I left her with Helen while I went to town. When I got back Wendy and Bob were having lots of fun playing outdoors with a big dish pan of water. Wendy had all her clothes off, and looked like a very brown, happy pixie. Now that its warm, and I let her run around sans clothes she is getting nicely tanned all over. [pg 2] This afternoon we went down to the beach, and Wendy toddled all over the place. She looks so tiny walking along alone on that great big stretch of sand. I think I had too much hot sun today, because now I feel very sleepy and a bit sickish. Heat, even a little always hits me the wrong way. Guess I’d better tumble into bed now and try to sleep it off. I'll leave this open and write a P.S. in the morning. Goodnight darling - please come home soon - I love you- Bobby 12:45 P.M. Gee sweety, I'm not a bit happy today. Wendy had me up til midnight, and didn't go to sleep til I gave [pg 3] her a good spanking. In the process of leaning over the bed to the crib - my knee went into the hot water bottle bursting it, and soaking the floor, bed and me. That was the last straw, and I just plain bawled. This morning I heard that there were just 15 Navy officers left at the Presidio, and that they are awaiting orders - That sounds as if there isn't any replacement pool at all left. If that's true, and it seems to be, it is going to be a lousy break for us. No letters from you this morning, but I did receive a box - geta strings, watch band etc. It's already given Bob one of the knives and he was very pleased. The beads were badly molded - I've [pg 4] boxed them, and will air them in the sun to see what happens. The cart was broken, but I think it can be mended with china cement. The cloth is nicely done, and will be just right for Wendy to use when she gets her own little table. Thank you for everything sweety, its such fun unwrapping packages. This afternoon I will get a money order and enclose it in this letter. Walter was to leave Okinawa on the 7th so he's probably on his way back now - lucky guy- More tonight darling - Bobby
