400 September 16 - Sunday - 5:30 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Sunshine today, and it sure felt good. Last night I was a long time getting to sleep, because I got all excited thinking about living near Washington. I should just love it sweety, and hope so much that it will work out that way for us. This morning we were lazy and slept til 10:00, something we haven't done for quite awhile. Bob came over, but left in a hurry screaming that he’d seen a snake. I guess probably one is living in the rocks around the front door. The thought of it gives me shivers - Hells Bells I didn't bargain for either [pg 2] snakes or bats! No mail from you today, but yesterday's letter has been holding me nicely. Those long letters are just like a shot in the arm and I read them over and over again. Had a note from Muz and she said that she was sending some little pictures Helen had drawn for you and Jean, to Wendy - Also some letters you had written home from school, and I can hardly wait to see them. This afternoon we drove down to the beach with Helen and Bob. It was quite cool down there, and I had to keep chasing after Wendy, because she heads right toward the water every time. Its amazing how fast she goes. I guess I must have gotten a little burn, because my face stings now. When we got home I was [pg 3] surprized to see a white box on the front step, and thought at first it must be something from you. But it turned out to be a box of vanilla and chocolate fudge from George Clark who had stopped by and missed us. Bought some rust remover yesterday - used it on the carriage today and it worked wonders. The A.W.U.S. is going to try and sell it for me - We'll have to get rid of it sweety, much as I hate to, because it would be too much trouble lugging it all around the country with us, especially since we have no home of our own to go to right away. 8:45 P.M. Oh sweety darling I want you so much. You've just got to get home to us soon. The button-nose grows [pg 4] so fast, and is such a cunning morsel. She will just adore you, as I do you both. In so many ways she is like you, and frequently I catch a look in her eye, as part of a smile that is you all over again. Last night when I went in to cover her up she looked just as she did as a new baby, and I was comforted knowing that tho she has changed greatly, you will still be able to see her at times as she looked when you left. Children are awesome creatures, and I never cease to marvel at the wonder of Wendy - just imagine darling - mixing up our genes and chromosomes and turning out a baby as wonderful as Wendy - its incredible. I love you Tinker - I love you terribly much- Bobby
