272 May 23 - 8:30 P.M. Wed. My Dearest Darling: What a let down - I've been sitting here, just listening to the radio, and hoping for a Special - The phone rang, and it was the SM, but he didn't have anything for me - was just trying to find out about someone else's address. I've had a busy day, and I'm awfully tired. Have had no mail for two days and that always helps put me in low spirits. Did receive a package from you tho - the earthenware, shells, and funny bits of coral. Just a piece out of one of the little green plates. I'm awfully glad to have them, they’re a handy size for [pg 2] almost anything. Sometime, will you see if you can find about a dozen tiny shells, that I can mount on a pair of tortoise shell combs to wear in my hair. I think I could stick them on with china cement. I've looked along the water's edge on the beach, but all I could find were fragments. This afternoon I made eight glasses of strawberry jam. It taste good, and as soon as its ‘set’ for about a week I'll send you a couple of glasses. Worked on Wendy's chair too, and have it all done except for painting her name - Helen's going to do that - she's made a stencil out of your old one. Wendy stayed awake til [pg 3] about 11:30, and make again about 3:00. I guess its no wonder that I'm tired tonight. Every once in awhile, I’d like to send little sweetie to you for a visit! This afternoon I let her loose in the kitchen, and it was really fun. I was washing dishes, and Wendy crawled over, grabbed one of the drawer nobs, stood up beside me, and looked very pleased with herself. Think the milk battle is won too - guess Wendy's forgotten her bottles. Goodnight sweety - dreamt of you last night - you gave me some optimistic predictions as to the war's end- Love you darling- Bobby
