301 June 15 - 9:00 P.M.-Friday Dearly Beloved: I don't know whether to feel happy, doubtful, sad - but mostly I guess I'm just upset. Will called me tonight to say that two education officers were going out as replacements to Tinian tomorrow. When Warren de Weese and his wife stopped at Helen's to leave baby Jamie, he confirmed the fact that Civic Pac had called for twenty replacements. I asked Will, if you got back to CASA, how long he thought you might be here, and he said about 3 months, but that was only a guess, and it might be a shorter time. Gosh, honey I don't know what [pg 2] to think - it's going to be slow torture waiting for your mail for the next week or two. I want you terribly, and the possibility that you might be coming home sets me trembling all over. This is a red letter day - Wendy took her first steps alone - seven in all - two the first time, two the second, and three the third. Helen was here, and she held out a match box, which Wendy wanted - I was so excited - just held my breath and watched her. If you do get home for the summer we'll be able to have lots of fun with her. Miss Coolidge has sold her car, so we’re going to have the garage free - should be able to get our stuff out of storage [pg 3] by the first of the month. Golly, sweety - I'm hearing a million imaginary special cars - and footsteps on the patio. I'm a mess of jitters - guess I’d better go to bed. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a letter. I love you terribly much- Bobby
