433 October 17 - Wednesday - 9:15 P.M. My Dearly Beloved: Now that there is a chance of your getting home soon, I've spent the whole day worrying for fear they won't release you. Damn it all, why can't I take things in stride, but I never have, and I guess I never will. This morning I was very crabby, and I'm afraid Wendy got the brunt of it. I felt very badly afterwards, and the afternoon went much better. It was gray out, but the air brisk, and we worked outdoors together raking leaves. Wendy has a little [pg 2] bamboo rake we borrow from Bob, and she drags it around, following me like a friendly puppy, with a big smile and her eyes sparkling. She had a hard time out back because the blanket of pine needles is slippery, and she kept tumbling. She is a handful to manage because she is always into mischief, but that's no excuse for scolding at her to relieve my own pent up feelings. I do hope I hear from you soon about this new arrangement. There was no mail today, but its about time for another special. Golly, sweety - I do get so impatient just thinking about you [pg 3] being here with us again. It helps me to know that you are getting impatient too, and will do everything you can to get home as soon as possible. Do wait for the best travelling accommodations darling, I can wait an extra few days if it means you can travel more comfortably, tho I'll probably feel like swimming out to meet you anyway. I don't know whether there is anything in the enclosed clippings that you won't already know, but I thought perhaps you might want to see them anyway- Please have good news for me very soon. I love you with all my heart- Bobby
