332 July 13 - Friday - 6:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Here I am all washed up after an afternoon on the beach, and freshly dressed in yellow playshoes, navy blue slacks, wide green felt belt, yellow silk long sleeved shirt, á Bientôt, a yellow flower in my hair, and all set to write to you. It felt so good to get down to the beach - it was quite hot, and the water calm - Wendy found a little two year old girl to play with, and they had a fine time together. Funny, just as soon as we get all spread out on the sand, Wendy survey the terrain, and [pg 2] then goes scooting off to find the nearest youngsters. I'm so glad she isn't a shy baby. After three hours of sun, we came home via the post office, and I was delighted to find #269 from you. Are you really getting tan all over? Last night I dreamt about you. You came home by ship, but had only two days, and we had to spend them on board! This morning I mailed back the envelope you sent. Had to add another six center, but the postmaster promised to cancel thru the stamped stamp - I suppose that's what you wanted. [pg 3] Dana phoned this evening to tell me that Steve's ship was recalled unexpectedly to Pearl. He hopes to be home by the end of February - says funny things are happening to the Language Men at Pearl, and some of them at least may be coming stateside - That sounds funny, because Walter writes that they are badly in need of interpreters on Okinawa. Barbara and George bought a house up the valley fourteen miles - Robles del Rio. They bought it on Sunday and moved in on Tuesday! Had a note from Helen this morning - she will arrive about five Monday afternoon. [pg 4] 9:00 Have just finished rereading some of your latest letters. Golly, Sweety I hope you do get home soon - time right now seems to be dragging so. This feels like the calm before the storm for some reason. If it wasn't for Wendy I don't know what I’d do, she is the sweetest baby. I'm awfully glad we have her, and that she was born when she was. Tried to teach her to say Warren, but all that came out was “Wa-wee” - had better luck with Mr. Teddy “M-Taddy-” We love you very much darling - you have an adoring wife and daughter- Bobby
