456 Saturday Nov. 10 9:30 P.M. Also received the “Do not open til - or the day you leave---” and I hope it's the latter!! Oh Sweety: I'm still terribly excited, tho I've managed to simmer down a bit. Just think - even if it is two months more, that's no longer than your sojourn in Washington, of course we don't get week-ends on this deal, but we have being together rather than separation ahead of us. Just can't believe that things have really started rolling to bring you home, and that soon we will be whole again, and sharing Wendy together. Over and over today I kept telling her, daddy was coming home soon - and she replied “M-mmm Daddy!” “Hi Daddy” or “Daddy! Oh Boy-” maybe she really does know what it is all about. When she first sees you, [pg 2] she will probably stand very still just looking you over for a few minutes, and then smile, wanting to be picked up and played with. Jerry stopped by this afternoon, and we both got slightly lopped. If Reni gets back after Thanksgiving they may remain in Carmel til after Dickie's birthday on January 10th. If you should be home by then, perhaps the four of us can go out for an evening - perhaps to the Lodge. I hope I did right sending you that cable - I don't want to upset you, but I do want you to know how I feel. Perhaps if you think it worthwhile you’d better recap on that letter about S and the job, and I imagine you enclosed a “Churo Chronicle.” Quite a few bags of mail were destroyed by fire at the FPO, and that letter may have [pg 3] been burned. Just picked the button-nose up and now she's back to sleep again on her tummy with her little rump up in the air - she still sleeps like an embryo. I don't put diapers on her any more at night - just her little bare bottom and her sleepers. By the way - the diarrhea is all cleared up, and no signs of a cold. Something I fed her must have been laxative, but I can't think what. Have a new dress - pale blue wool trimmed with brown to go under my fur coat. Tomorrow I start to work getting our clothes in order, and there I'll start on the house - Oh Boy - you’re coming home soon, and do I ever love you --- Bobby
