450 November 5 - Monday - 12:45 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Your Special received this morning leaves me sort of suspended in mid-air. As yet, I haven't received the letter about the job prospect and Mr. Schwartz! After the Special, I chased right downtown to the Post Office, but there was just another letter mailed on the 31st am missing letters of the 29th and 30th. I don't know why you should feel like a culprit sweety, I certainly don't think of you as one. Future job prospects are our main concern now. If possible, I’d far rather have you line up something before you get home, than spend two or three months after [pg 2] you get back jumping and chasing around job-hunting. After all, January is the month after next - and that isn't so very much longer to wait. And if you decide on this job, whatever it may be, perhaps this Schwartz guy could get you home sooner, or perhaps even your orders might come thru anyway. Things change too rapidly to know for sure, what's going to be true a month from now. I was relieved to hear that you aren't considering staying in the Navy for 6 months to get a spot promotion, or Commander Kenney's proposal. To hell with anything like that ---- I've put the “Do Not Open Until Green Box has been Emptied” envelope out of temptations way - [pg 3] 6 P.M. Wouldn't you know! This afternoon I received your letter of the 1st, but not the missing ones I'm so curious about . Alright - I've given up all hope for Christmas, and won't think about it anymore, but you’d better be home right quick in January! ‘Cause mummy and the stroller need fixin'. Wrote Jean May a letter this evening and addressed it to Berkeley. Asked her to come down for a visit if she can, and said we’d like to see them both if possible, before we return east. I think it likely that she may have returned to SF to await Henry's arrival. 10:20 Its so sweet to pick Wendy up at night, she's a love-bug, and I'm so glad she's she. Our nice warm weather is all gone and its cold and rainy [pg 4] again - Am going to reread today's three letters and then jump into bed with my hot water bottle - M-mm Boy! One of these days soon you’re going to be here for some real honest to goodness sleeping together nights!! Love you terribly much Tinker, so make it soon. Bobby
