360 August 8 - Wednesday - 9:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: This has really been a day - Wendy was napping, and I was in here having a cigarette, when news of Russia's entry into the war came over the radio. That really ought to put the kiwash on Japan soon, but I guess there's no telling - At any rate I'll be waiting to hear how the news was taken out there. No mail from you today, but its so nearly regular that I mustn't complain. How do you like my new stationery? It was engraved up in Berkeley, and I think they did a very good job. This morning I left Wendy [pg 2] with Grammy Price, and drove over to Monterey with Helen and Bob. My main purpose was to put in application for a replacement of Wendy's last ration book, but the O.P.A. office was closed til noon, and we couldn't wait. I did get another small snapshot album - the same size as the green one, but with a pretty plaid woven cover. The pages are cream color, and that makes the green corners look well. This afternoon we went down to the beach, but it got foggy soon after we arrived. Its relaxing tho, just to lie in the sand, even if Wendy crawls back a forth over me all the time. She carried her soft red kewpie with her swinging poor [pg 3] dolly by the leg. This morning while I was watering the garden out front, I looked down to see Wendy reaching for the hose - I had thought she was a good fifty feet out of the way! She moves so fast - this afternoon I caught her pushing aside the fire screen, and walking into the fireplace - Another atomic bomb! This time Nagaski - Golly - anything might happen now, and perhaps it will. I wish we could be together on V-J day - but our big celebration will come the day we meet in San Francisco, and I can hardly wait- I love you that much- Bobby
