416 Oct. 1 Monday, 1:30 P.M. My Darling Tink: I am out here on the patio, Wendy is napping, and I've just finished typing some excerpts from an article in yesterday's paper which I borrowed from Helen, and thought you would be interested in. Helen brought me your letter of the 24th on her way from town. Your reminiscing on our parting up in San Francisco touched me deeply, it is still so vivid to me, and not without pain. I feel hopeful this morning that soon things will begin to perk, and that you will be sent home. I still haven't given up all hope for Christmas, despite the answer you gave Capt. Dodds. What with things boiling over at CASA, and the pressure being put on MG from all sides, the situation should begin to clear any time now. By the way, the little article that I enclosed in Saturday night's letter, refers to the same meeting of officers as the one in the Chronicle, but makes no mention of what actually happened at the meeting. And Mr. J. just what did you do to the last pair if pajamas you sent me, the blue and white ones? I dreamt of you again last night……Wendy woke up at that point. 6:15 We were first on a college campers in Boston, and later had a wonderful playtime. Tho, I just dreamt about the preliminaries, I awoke refreshed and happy, and have kept so all day. Darling, I want you so, and can hardly wait [pg 2] til you can come to me again. At night I stay awake thinking of how wonderful it will feel to have you beside me again, to turn to each other and become one again. Last night in my dream, you were beside me, and I kept reaching out to touch you, and reassure myself that you were really there - the only trouble was that I woke up and you weren't! But it just can't be too much longer sweety, I feel sure deep inside me that you will be sent home sooner than seems apparent now. Motts and David have a Jr. born September 24th, and weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz. Young David was two weeks late - Motts expected him on the 8th. Right now I'm reading and enjoying “Mob 3” by Capt. Robert P. Parsons USN. He is quite a guy - a doctor, and he writes of setting [pg 3] up a Mobile hospital unit in the SW Pacific. Splurged and made myself some Tollhouse cookies today, just to practice up on my technique for you - or so I told myself. When I wasn't looking, Wendy switched one and when I caught her and said “No, no, they’re still hot” - she started taking bites as fast as she could - she certainly does have a sweet tooth. 9:20 Little sweetie is a perpetually gay, but also very wise moppet. Many of the things she does amaze me, and I am so eager for you to be here to share the wonder of them with me. She needs her daddy now, in a way she didn't as an infant. Oh darling, I can hardly stand the bliss of knowing that you will be home soon and to stay. It's been terribly empty and lonely without you, and I'm so glad this waiting is almost over. I can't very well [pg 4] put my feelings into words, but you will understand. And its so good darling to know that, even when I get incoherent trying to explain. It's just that I love you so very much, and am so terribly anxious to have you come home. Goodnight darling - I laundered the gray pajamas today, and will wear them and your sweater tonight- Bobby
