375 August 23 - Thursday - 8:30 P.M. My Beloved: Tonight I’m feeling jittery and discouraged, mostly because I still haven’t had any mail from you. I shouldn’t let myself be - this has been a beautiful day - bright blue sky, warm and good smelling. Everything around me tho seems so unsettled, and always there is the nagging fear that you will have to stay out longer than eighteen months. Wendy and I received two packages today. The beautiful alligator pumps I’ve already told you about, and a most scrumptious big Raggedy Ann baby with a mop of flaming red hair and lace edged pantaloons. Wendy took to her with a big grin [pg 2] at first sight, and dragged poor Raggedy around all day tho dolly is almost as big as little sweetie. This afternoon I parked Wendy with Grammy, and went down to have my permanink. I turned out very well, and wasn’t too much of an ordeal. Mark, the guy who did it, fed me chocolate cake while I sizzled, and that made life much more pleasant - I read half of Precious Bane too, and really enjoyed it - I might add a bit to my surprize. On my way home I stopped in at Sammy’s and picked up a pretty African violet to tote home to Grammy. Sent the watch off this morning First Class - Special Delivery. I couldn’t insure it, but by sending it Special we will have [pg 3] a way of tracing the package if need be. There just has to be some mail tomorrow, and I hope at least one good, big, fat letter. I love you my darling sweety - Bobby
