303 Sunday - 6:15 P.M. June 17 Dearly Beloved: It's a real job these days to get Wendy ready for and into bed. She isn't still for a moment, which makes it hard when she's being dressed and undressed. I don't know who is tireder at the end of the day, Wendy or me. This afternoon she tried to turn the front door knob - she looked so cunning standing on tippy toe, but she was still a good six inches too short. Put in a long day puttering around the outside of the house - borrowed Mrs. Price's pruning shears and trimmed down all the bushes, raked and watered, and did some [pg 2] work in the garden. Mrs. Price's son-in-law is going to saw off some tree branches and help me store away stuff in the garage. He is some kind of a building, doing work on adobe brick in Carmel Valley - his wife works in the university in Palo Alto. No mail today - this being in suspense is terrific - sure hope I get some news this week. I guess if you’re leaving it won't be for another three weeks or so - perhaps you don't even know yet. If Will got his information fouled up, I'm certainly going to be awfully sore- 10:00 That damn phone-this time Commander Thompson's wife to speak [pg 3] Helen and of course Wendy is wide awake. Helen is having a phone put in this week - which should help. Little sweetie doesn't miss a trick - eyes wide open and a bright smile. I've been reading my weekend quotes of two books and now after listening to the news I'm going to bed. So many things I want to tell you darling, that I just can't put down. I want you so much. I love you with all that's mine to give - Bobby 'Scuse the blots - guess Wendy was banging our family institution too hard this afternoon.
