9/30/45 [Pages may be missing] Tonight as darkness fell, I was keenly aware of how I used to feel as a child when we set the clocks back. It's a very special feeling - brisk air, the smell of camphor as woolens were shaken out, cocoa for breakfast, new winter underwear and ever so many other things, all mixed up together. I do miss the change of seasons - especially fall and spring, but California has been the best place for Wendy and me to do our durating. I reread your letters of a year ago this evening - there are fourteen folders so far including one of your typewritten letters. I felt all welled up inside as I read them and remembered the pain of your leaving and the uncertainty of what the year would be bringing [pg 2] I wouldn't have believed then, that the war would be all over, or that you would be spending your overseas time on Tinian. Reading again about our phone call, makes me all the more anxious for you to get back to Pearl. I'll be so excited darling when you phone - if I can, just get Wendy to talk. But just think it won't be but a twinkling afterwards before you are home talking to her in person. Oh sweety - I can hardly wait, and get so excited thinking about it. Dreamt of you last night - I had come to join you on Tinian and we were in a building which was probably the new school auditorium as I imagine it. Another month behind us - I love you my darling- Bobby
