432 October 16 - Tuesday - 1:15 P.M. Oh Darling: Today I've hit the depths again. Each day as I wait for the promised announcement from the Navy Dept, and it goes by, I know it makes that much less of a chance for our being together on Christmas. I won't mind delays nearly so much after you get your orders, its just this awful uncertainty now. Perhaps you will get news of your replacement the end of this month. It will be a whole year then, and you've been working hard. Now that the war is over and you've done your part, I'm more anxious than ever to have you back again. [pg 2] Helen brought me #342 this morning, and when we went down to the P.O. there was a big envelope mailed on the 2nd. Yes, I'm sure Wendy will enjoy the little readers later on, but more than that even, she will probably beg you for stories about the school. I won't renew the subscription to Life sweety. Mrs. Price gets a copy every week and lends it to me, and you probably can find one to glance thru each week. When we get settled, we can decide on our magazine subscriptions. Darling I do trust you to provide for our happiness, I don't ever want to say or write anything that might make you feel that I don't. If we have any choice at all tho, as to where we live, I’d like it to be in the East. [pg 3] I'm glad Capt. Dodds is your C.O. because I'm sure he is understanding, and will give you a fair deal when the time comes. I just hope that you are not going to be the one left to break in your successors at the school. 4:15 Everything seems to be clear on the home front again - I had a very cheerful letter from M and F today. Some Navy big shot is to report to Congress on demobilization tomorrow, perhaps he will give us the news we’re waiting for. Gee sweety, it was just a year ago today that you phoned me from Hawaii - how I wish I was waiting for a call right this minute. I wish you could see the mess Wendy has made in here this afternoon - I think she wrecks a room even more [pg 4] thoroughly than Joanie and Anette together! Oh sweety here it is - 46 pts - as of Nov. 1st if your discharge just goes thru fast now, and you get home by Christmas - oh darling - you've just got to - 9:45 P.M. Darling, darling - I'm all shivery and excited inside, and can't think of anything but that you may be home in a matter of weeks now. If I could just talk to you this very minute - there are dozens of questions rolling around in my head. I do hope your letter telling me of our chances comes thru fast as can be, and I shall continue to jitter til it does - Hurry back to me darling, I can hardly wait - I love you so much- Bobby
