37- (May have skipped a no. let me know) Monday Oct. 23rd 8:10 My dearest darling:- Read through the papers you sent tonight loved ‘Sad Sack’ - half of one of the pages of the paper was torn out (Oct. 3rd) Am sending you tomorrow ‘This World’ from last Sunday's paper. This afternoon Marge took us for a drive to the point - the water was a lovely aquamarine color - Wendy sported a pink ribbon and looked very festive. When we got back we had ice cream cones, and then went to market. Wendy loved the Purity, as soon as she is able to sit up will put her in the top basket when we go shopping. Today for the first time she reached for your fountain pen - clutched it in her fist, and then put it in her mouth - will be a good teething toy if I keep it tightly closed so that she doesn't [pg 2] get ink all over herself. Am going to send you an EFM birthday message tomorrow - hope it goes through. Will be thinking of you every minute and remembering the fun we had last year - wish I could have baked you a cake. Where did you and Henry play golf? Didn't get your stationery, but promise to get it tomorrow. Am listening to ‘Sherlock Holmes’ the radio is such a help - especially at night. The reception is the best we've ever had. Listen to the news at 6 each morning while I feed Wendy. She hasn't slept last since you left - for some reason she wakens anytime from 3-6, tho I never feed her before 5:30! Haven't any idea why, unless she has been sleeping too much during the day. I have been going to sleep at 10:45 and sleeping til 10:00, but with Wendy awake more now, I'll have to start getting up earlier soon and putting in a real day. Can you picture Wendy at 9 months creeping, pulling things off tables etc. as Jeff does now? I can't. Wendy and Jeff are awfully cute together - Jeff jabbers, and Wendy answers in a very lady like fashion - smiling very coyly sometimes with a finger in the corner of her mouth. Well, my darling, to read now and then [shnoofies?] I love you - Bobby [Shnoofies?] - sleep Jo jo - bathroom Mrs. Wigglesworth - Wendy 23/44 Lunch with Warr ‘on the hill’ then to the C.C. C.U. game - followed by dinner at Wayne's - then on to Fran Mahoney's and roommate's party at the May's apartment.
