357 August 5 - Sunday - 8:45 P.M. My Darling: Again tonight I am tired, after being up with Wendy last night. For some reason, she wake up crying almost every night, but quiets down and goes right to sleep just as soon as I take her in to bed with me. The only rub being that its hard for me to go back to sleep, and besides which I don't want Wendy to make it a habit. To add to my woes, while I was chasing after her on the beach this afternoon I ran a rusty nail into my foot. Fortunately, it went in sideways so it isn't deep, but it is sore. I suppose I should have a tetanus shot, but [pg 2] I don't have any way of getting over to Del Monte - and anyway I think it will probably be alright. Now lets see - do I have anything else to complain about? No I guess not. This has been a very dull week-end, and I haven't accomplished a damn thing. Wendy keeps me so busy, that I can hardly find time to even clean house. By the time she's in bed for the night, I don't feel able to do anything except plop down here in the big chair. Wendy has an enormous curiosity, and has to go poking into everything. I don't mind that at all, and I enjoy watching her - But, just lately she refuses to be alone at all, and complains continuously. I guess I'll have to listen to it til she gets over this stage - It isn't her fault, its just that [pg 3] she needs more people around - we see too much of each other, and too continuously, but that can't be helped. She is good company, and lots of fun besides, so I'm really not serious when I say some of the things I do - Despite all my resolve tho, sometimes I think I'm becoming more and more of the average mother. This is a stupid letter and I'm going to cut it short right now, and go to bed, before I close my eyes and fall asleep right here. Goodnight darling - a very sleepy one - lots of love from your big and little sweetie - a special loving up from me - Bobby
