417 October 2 - Tuesday - 9:15 P.M. Hello Darling: Its been another warm, sort of empty day. We miss our trips to the beach, and time hangs heavy in the afternoon. This morning I rigged up the hose out on the patio, and Wendy had a fine time sprinkling her self and me. It takes so little to amuse her. One of her favorite play things right now is a coke bottle which she calls “boppel-boppel” Its amazing the punishment those bottles can take without breaking. Wendy uses hers to hammer and roll across the floor. She does so many cute and funny things each day. Today I noticed that instead of waving when she says “bye-bye” she holds [pg 2] up her hand and opens and closes her fist. This afternoon while I was writing letters a the desk, Wendy stood on tip toe with just the top of her head and big eyes showing, trying to see what I was doing. Finally I suggested that she go say hello to you, and she toddled right over to your picture, looked up, smiled and said “Hi.” I could have burst with delight, except that you weren't here to see it. I'm beginning to yen for the feel of a city again, and hope it won't be long before we are able to make the trip east. I don't ever want to live in a city if we can possibly help it, but I would like always to be [pg 3] near one. I'm in a fine state of jitters these days, each time the phone rings I start to shake. I don't know what sort of condition you will find me in when you do get home, so you’d better make it quick like. I love you darling with all my heart- Bobby
