352 July 31 - 9:15 P.M. Tuesday My Beloved: No mail today, but soon there should be a good, big fat letter. I shouldn't say no mail, because I did receive your V-mail - But, sweety - you take me too literally! At any rate, I did enjoy it, and burst out laughing right in the post office. Unlike most of the wives, who carry their letters home to read - I rip mine open just as fast as I can get them out of the box, and read them thru quickly, just in case you have anything exciting or encouraging to tell me. I couldn't stand the suspense [pg 2] of waiting - once or twice I've gotten out of the Post Office, only to sit down to read either outside of the library or in the park. Of course I expect when you have anything really important to tell me, it will come Special, and that's good too - I'm not walking down to the P.O. at night anymore, because now it gets dark earlier, and I don't like being out alone. In another envelope this afternoon, I mailed you something from the insurance company which I couldn't figure out. Enclosed is the first of what I suppose will be Wendy's long line of crayon, pencil and paint [pg 3] masterpieces. This afternoon I glanced up to catch her walking around the room, the Times book review clutched in both fists, and held up in front of her - babbling away for dear life! I can just see the two of you carrying books whenever we go anyplace on train or subway - guess I'll have to follow suit in self-defense - Little sweetie is full of new tricks these days - each one funnier than the one before. When I went into the kitchen after lunch, I found her with one leg swung over the side of her high chair, and a very thoughtful look on her pixie [pg 4] face - how she got her leg up and over, I haven't yet figured out. This morning as I was going over her list of words, I slipped in a new one, thinking to catch her unawares, but she just looked at me indignantly, as if I was trying to put something over on her - and indeed I was! If you don't get home soon, I'm going to pop - Darling - I love you so very much- Bobby
