327 Sunday - 9:30 P.M. July 8 My Dearest Darling: I've been deep in “Alaska Challenge” all night. The second book on the subject I've read this week. I guess such books fascinate me as mysteries do others. Not that I would ever want to explore the wilds of Alaska with you, or our family - but a summer's camping trip would be fun. Wendy and I slept til 10:30 this morning - something we haven't done for a long time. Little sweetie wok at 8:30, and I took her smiling into bed with me - After pulling my hair, and ears, and poking at my eyes, she turned over on her tummy, and we both went back to sleep. [pg 2] After breakfast I spent the rest of the morning fussing around the little room upstairs. I'll have to take some pictures for you. It looks cheerful and cosy - especially with a red geranium in a white pot, and my African violet. With no trouble at all will be able to convert it into a nursery for Wendy when you get home. She'll be perfectly safe, just as long as we get one of those metal fence things to go across the door so that she can't tumble downstairs. While I was rummaging around I found the leather picture folder (single) Muz sent us her picture in, and I have it wrapped [pg 3] to send you tomorrow. This afternoon we went down to the beach again. Wendy found two young girls who were completely enchanted with her, and she spent a good part of the time with them tearing up the Sunday paper, playing pat-a-cake and “How big is Wendy Johnston?” No mail from you today, and I miss it so much. I wish I knew how long more it's going to be before you get home. And sweety darling, you've just got to come back to stay - eighteen months is much too long a separation - I never want to be separated from you again. Do you know how much I love you- Bobby
