465 November 19 - Monday - 1:45 P.M. Oh Sweety: The Western Union messenger arrived this morning, just as we were getting dressed to go downtown - the first time a cable has been delivered directly instead of over the phone - I was almost afraid to open it because I know it was too early for your relief to have arrived, and I thought perhaps you were going to tell me that an unforeseen delay had arisen. I was much relieved to hear about the job. Ever since I sent you the cable, its been bothering me - because tho I don't want to go out there, I’d hate to put a damper on anything you might really want to do. Now [pg 2] I'm waiting for your letter. While we were in town, ran into Marge and Merrill Panitt who are out here vacationing after Merril's discharge - Also the Nims - Jana and Dave who asked for you. Dave is a Lt. Com. Now, and still up in Oakland. Started our Christmas shopping, but with little success. Bought Jean a very attractive leather compact, and this afternoon I expect to get “Casserole Cookery” and “The Mixers Guide” for Valerie and Doug. 8:30 P.M. Phoned Del Monte this morning, but they’re in sort of a mess our there what with doctors leaving and what not, so I phoned to Dr. [Manoe's?] office and made an [pg 3] appointment for next Wednesday afternoon. Vivian is going to drive me over and take charge of Wendy. Right after I phoned this morning, I turned to Wendy who was standing in her crib, and said - “There - now Mummy is going to be all fixed up for daddy!” To which she replied “Daddy?” - and started throwing kisses. She was so cute later when we were out sunbathing - she heard Sharon next door, and went running right over shouting “Hi-Hi” She stayed for quite awhile, before Sharon returned her, holding hands tightly. Wendy loves people, and ever so many stop to talk to her, because she is so friendly. She is getting to be known around town as the “hi” baby. [pg 4] Darling, I just can't believe that she has grown so, but hardest of all is believing that she is really ours, it just doesn't seem possible. Today, for the first time in three weeks it was warm enough for a sunbath - I still have a noticeable tan - at least you can see lines, and I'm hoping that I can hold on to a bit until you get home. Must dash off a note to M and F now - pick up little sweetie and go to bed. I am happy to report that she is now trained both ways, and we've had no accidents. If I forget to put her on she just drips a little - but hells bells that can't be helped. Tomorrows another day, and I hope it brings me some mail. My dearest - I love you- Bobby
