451 November 6 - Tuesday - 9:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: I hope you’re not waiting for an answer to your letter about the job, because I haven't yet received it. I have all thru #358 except that one. Today, I received #355 written on your birthday. I'm glad it was a bright sunny day, and that you like the socks. I'm in the midst of knitting you another pair - gray wool. Did Mr. Chaucer ever arrive? Seems to me I sent him book rate a long time ago. And thank you for the tweezers, I shall use them with great pleasure and gentleness whenever you want me [pg 2] to. This morning just before I woke up I was having the most wonderful dream - you were just getting ready to come to me, when Wendy announced that she was awake, and of course I woke up too. Now how do you suppose she knew enough to wake up at that crucial moment - or were you in cahoots with her and egging her on? Sweety I still have a big bowl of your birthday chrysanthemums on the mantle - they stay fresh looking such a long time. Its been cold and clear all day, but just a few minutes ago it started to rain again. I like it this way, because the sound of the rain puts me to sleep, and I [pg 3] like to wake up to sunlight in the morning. The Bensons had their furniture and stuff taken away today, but as far as I know they aren't leaving til the 17th. Jerry phoned at noon - she hasn't had any word from Reni since the 27th, so she thinks he must be on his way. I am very glad to hear that you are packing. Any bundles you mailed about the time you are detached you’d better send to Flushing, so we don't have needless complications. Allow 6-8 weeks for anything not sent air mail. Vivian has the car tomorrow, and we plan to drive over to Pacific Grove. I’d like to get some shoes for Wendy, and look at dresses for myself. [pg 4] Wendy sang out a few minutes ago, and I rushed her to the benjo. No doubt the sound of all their rain is very suggestive! She was a good moppet tho, and didn't ‘wee-wee’ til she was all nicely settled on her toidey. Afterwards we came in here for a minute so that she could say “nigh’-nigh’” to “dāh-dee” with a very sleepy little smile. And I guess its nigh’-nigh’ time for a very sleepy mummy too. Goodnight darling - I love you, and you are with me every minute - Bobby
