223 [mislabeled] July 4 - Wednesday - 5:45 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Poor little sweety - at Dr. Lusiguan's suggestion I've put some nasty tasting stuff called “Stop” on Wendy's thumbs to discourage sucking. She's crying now as if her heart will break. I want so much to pick her up, but know that I mustn't. We were down on the beach this afternoon. Wendy and I walked down to the water, and stuck our toes in. We picked up these tiny little shells for you, it's the first time I've seen anything but jagged bits - guess it was because the tide was out. Received the two embroidered handkerchiefs and #262 this morning. The handkerchiefs are beautifully done, I wish I could think of [pg 2] something special to do with them. As soon as my allotment check comes in, I'll go in search of the cologne and necktie you asked for. Unpacked our books today, and have them all in the bookcase. I was delighted to come across Wendy's personal cards, and my monogram die. 8:30 P.M. Peeped in to see Wendy, and she is sound asleep with one fist tucked under her cheek. I hope it won't take more than a day or two to get over this hurdle. She cries so seldom. Wish you could have seen her at bathtime tonight. I took her clothes off and walked her into the bathroom - little pink fanny wagging saucily. Then, instead of putting her on the toidey, I let her stand at the tub while the water was running, and she thought [pg 3] that was great fun. Had a bad time getting to sleep again last night, and now I think I'll go to bed while I feel tired. Sweety darling, I wish you could come right home - you've been away such a very long time. I love you so much- Bobby
