408 September 24 - Monday - 8:45 P.M. Sweety-Sweety: When am I going to get some mail? I've come to the conclusion that it must be either typhoons or returning persons of war that is responsible for the delay. Helen had a letter from Walter this morning in which he described a bad typhoon raging across Okinawa. More snake trouble, but this time Helen and I between us managed to kill him in the front garden with a hoe. It was just a green snake, but I don't like any of them - that's the fourth one accounted for around our house - Some happy news. We can rent a car here in town if we want one to use when you get [pg 2] back. The rate isn't bad $2.50 per day, plus 10¢ a mile. It was hot today, and we went right down to the beach after lunch. There was a high tide last night that came half way up the beach, leaving a large lake about one foot deep. I just couldn't keep Wendy away, and she splashed happily in it almost all the time we were down there. I give Wendy the run of the beach, and just keep an eye on her to see that she doesn't get into trouble. Its more fun than a circus to watch her - especially today when her panties kept falling down, and she wasn't wearing anything else but a top-knot of ribbon and flowers. While we were walking along the beach, suddenly she came out with “Oh, oh Mummy!” and I looked down [pg 3] and then back to see the panties lying in the sand where they had fallen off. Still later, when she was off by herself on an excursion I saw her panties fall off - she calmly picked them up, and went on toddling waving them in her hand like a flag. Movies would be priceless. About mid-afternoon a seal got washed up - poor feller, he was badly battered and stunk something fierce. My face feels all tingly so I guess I got some sun burn. Ever hopeful I'm going to walk down to the P.O. in a few minutes - the mail should be in any time now, and I'm getting very impatient. I love you darling - with all my heart- Bobby
