385 September 2 - Sunday - 8:30 P.M. My Dearest Darling: I'm so full up with love for you - it makes me feel good all over, and oh so eager to have these next few months roll by in a big hurry. It was warm and sunny today - a perfect day for the beach, and we went down right after lunch. Wendy was quite the belle of the afternoon dressed in blue embroidered white sunsuit, white sweater, blue hairbow twisted around some California poppies and her little gold bracelet - [drawing] Well you can get a general idea. She is the particular pet of men in uniform, and this afternoon she found two with a portable radio - didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. [pg 2] Unfortunately, Bob gashed his foot on a piece of glass - not a bad cut, but he was frightened at the sight of so much blood. Wendy donated two pairs of clean panties to the cause, so we were able to wash him up, and wrap his foot. Tomorrow is Labor Day - Stinko - that means just one mail delivery. Mail from you is still very slow and irregular, but I imagine it ought to get smoothed out in a few days, and stay that way til the Christmas rush begins. This evening I've been going thru magazines and clipping recipes to try for you - apple fluff with whipped cream, lemon bisque - Graham cracker Roll with orange sauce, and a lush recipe for Watermelon Pickles. [pg 3] It will be so good to do some real cooking and baking again, and next summer I look forward to canning and preserving with the help of a pressure cooker. I love Sunday when I can listen to the Standard Hour, and write you at the same time. It will be pleasanter even to listen with you beside me. So many, many things we must do- We’re another day closer Tink - it just can't be too much longer now. I love you with all my heart - Bobby
