363 August 11 - 8:45 P.M. Saturday My Dearest Darling: The suspense is terrific, but everyone seems to think it will be tomorrow. Golly, wouldn't that be wonderful! Imagine not living in wartime, and having peace - its almost hard for me to remember what things were like. This afternoon Wendy and I went up to visit Gerry. We walked, and by the time we got home I think Wendy had half of Carmel in her sandals. Of course Gerry is excited too - we had a very pleasant visit, and little sweetie had a wonderful [pg 2] time clump-clumping around. This morning at breakfast I was talking to Wendy about you and your homecoming, when Wendy peeked around the kitchen to the front door and said, “Daddy?” She's awfully cunning, when she pulls aside the curtains hanging over the door and looks out to see who is coming or what is happening. And darling, Gerry told me of a woman who lives right behind her on Guadalupe who takes care of babies and children from 1 to 3 days in your own house. Gerry knows her very well, and says she has had special training in child [pg 3] care. Her fee is $10 a day. What do you think of having her in when I go up to San Francisco to meet you? We could have that first day and night alone together and return to Carmel the following morning. Anxious as I am to have you see Wendy I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to bring her along. I know its all off in the distance, but anticipation is half the fun. Of course I don't know how we'll ever get a hotel room, but I'll let you figure that one out. Darling, I'm just too excited - inside to think clearly. More tomorrow morning - I love you so much- Bobby
