394 September 10 Monday - 8:15 P.M. Hello Darling: The mail is still playing nasty tricks on me, and not popping into our box. How I miss hearing from you, letters make all the difference in the world. I'm listening for the SM, because he should bring me something when the mail finally does come in. Its been a lovely day and this afternoon we picked Bob up at school, and went down to the beach. I took Wendy into the water and she had such fun - the higher the waves coming toward her the better she likes it. There was another little girl [pg 2] about eighteen months old splashing around, and she and Wendy both dressed only in their white cotton panties attracted quite an audience. I do so wish you could watch with me, Wendy toddling around the beach all by herself, stopping here and there to play with a stone a bit of driftwood, or to talk to someone. When we got home about five - Helen found that someone had broken into her house thru the kitchen window. It looks like the work of a child, because tho everything was thoroughly ransacked, including the ice ox, the only thing missing was the money in Bob's piggy bank. A policeman came up to investigate after Helen phoned, and [pg 3] tomorrow they are going to try and get some fingerprints. Saw Bev this morning, she is feeling chipper because she expects Bud home this month. She had a bad fall playing tennis this week-end - her lip is severely cut inside and out - a small cut on her nose, and one of her false teeth got knocked out. I wish you could hear some of the rumors that are flying about town. The latest, heard today was that wives of MG men would be able to join them in 2 months. Someone is wishful thinking! Walter has something new to say in every letter, but so far nothing he's said has come true. There is a good bit of talk concerning the pressure the Navy is bringing [pg 4] to bear on its officers trying to get them into the regular Navy. So far I haven't heard of any takers - and I'm hoping that you won't even think about it - but that's your affair. I guess I’d back you up, but I wouldn't like it one bit. Here's to tomorrow - I hope there's lots of mail - Love you sweety - big and fine- Bobby
