302 June 16 - 9:15 P.M. Saturday My Darling: I am in a state - have an awful case of jitters and butterflies in the tummy - Every time the phone rings I fly to answer it, and fall so hard across the bed I'm beginning to ache. For some damn reason I've had more calls in the past two days than I've had in the last month - and all of them unnecessary trash. This morning I woke up early with that uplifted empty feeling, and all day long I've been jumpy. Yet common sense tells me I can't possibly know til the end of next week whether or not [pg 2] you've gotten orders, and if so what they are. I did keep busy - and feel tired tonight, tho not sleepy - Borrowed Helen's Electrolux and vacuumed and waxed the floors - followed that by polishing the furniture, and a general clean up. Walked down to the P.O. last night and had your letter and the limrics - they are priceless - I am curious about the censorship - perhaps you will be able to enlighten me soon. Helen had a letter from Walter saying he was on an LST ready to go, and it might be two weeks or more before she got any mail- I wish Will hadn't called, and imparted his news yesterday - tho I know his [pg 3] intentions were good. I should think after the last false alarm - he’d want to keep his hands out of anything else. If you do get home, it probably won't be for at least a month or so, and how I'll ever contain myself I have no idea. If you don't get home, but get sent out as a replacement I'll be happy too - I really hate to have you get mixed up in this CASA business - even if it does mean, we could probably have a great deal of time together. Sweety, I don't know how to feel or think, so I guess its better to try and not say any more about it til I hear from you. Wendy took lots more steps today - she looks like a very wobbly little drunk, and [pg 4] her toes curl around holding the floor real tight. When I looked in at her a little while ago, she was on her back, spread eagle sound asleep and all uncovered - made me feel all warm inside. Darling my thoughts are with you every minute - I'm making all sorts of imaginary and tentative plans, always remembering that it may be wishful thinking - and sweety, I promise not to let myself be let down - I truly don't know what to hope for - The only thing I am sure of is that - I love you with all my heart- Bobby
