320 Monday - 8:30 P.M. July 2 My Sweety: This has been a getting things done day - Your Special got me off to a good start. When we went down to the P.O. the flare chute was waiting for us, and when we got home the Special! I’d like to keep the chute, as it is, for our children to enjoy. I showed it to Bob, and he had a wonderful time with it. I fastened Wendy's red kewpie doll to it, and Bob amused himself dropping it from the tiny balcony upstairs. I'm glad you put me straight, on what is likely to happen as far as mail and time are concerned after you get your orders. Ideally [pg 2] I’d like just about a month's time - not too long to wait, yet ample time for getting us (Wendy and me) out clothes, and the house all in order. I'm glad you think I'm “capable and careful” - I never think of myself as such, but do you, and next time (Heaven forbid) that I get in a tight place again, I'll think of that and try to live up to it. Hope I do see Dr. Kooser so that I can give him your messages. I foolishly told him that anytime during the week-ends would be fine, forgetting that most of the time we’re down at the beach- “The same old stink” - Coach says it smells like a circus grounds. Dr. Moran was reserve - retired last Fall. I should judge that he's in his early forties - [pg 3] lives with his mother out at Pebble Beach, and according to Gladys drinks too much. He was very nice to me - In any acute emergency I think I’d call the outpatient Dep't at Del Monte. Did I tell you - its just recently been made available again? I’d take Wendy there for her check up except that Dr. Lusiguan has been taking care of her, and if I ever needed him during the night he’d come, but I don't know what would happen in such a case if I depend on Del Monte. Now that she is only checked every four months, and the expense of her shots is over, I’d just as soon have that added sense of security - no? Darling, all your letters are [pg 4] special, but it gives me a warm little thrill of excitement to have the SM bring me one every now and then. Now that I know what is apt to happen when you get orders, I won't worry so much about irregularities in the mail. It's a big help to me to be able to check with Jerry - especially when there are gaps of 3-4 days. Haven't tried letting Wendy push her strolled. She can push the wicker chair in front of the desk - sometimes it gets out of control, and they both land in a heap on the floor. Wendy is awfully good about not crying, except when she really hurts herself. In any case it never lasts very long, and I soon have her distracted. [pg 5] She isn't a super good baby by any means, but when she's naughty there's usually a pretty good reason behind it. She loves other children to play with, but is able to amuse herself when she has to. I really don't play with her very much - we romp just before getting up, and again at bath time, but that's about all except for a hug and kiss here and there every ‘oncet a while’. I do spend quite a bit of time talking to Wendy, and I'm sure that's at least party responsible for her starting to talk so early. My sunburn has gotten to the itchy stage, but I look awfully healthy; and that's what really matters. If I just didn't feel so tired all the time, everything would be fine. [pg 6] I did dream of you last night, but I can't remember the details - it was something to do with the shells you said you were going to try and send. To bed now, have to get up early tomorrow and get us ready to go to Dr. Lusiguan's. Happy dreams darling - a big tight hug and a special I Love You kiss- Bobby
