230 Sunday-April 15 - 6:00 P.M. My Dearest Darling: Don’t let the enclosed startle you - thought you might like to see what Wendy’s wash cloth looked like when I got finished washing her up before supper. She really gets grubby by the end of the day now - especially Sunday when she settles down to “reading” the newspaper. You would have laughed to see us this afternoon romping on the floor. Wendy in pants and shirt and mummie in sunsuit - we did all sorts of tricks laughing together, and ended up by running across the room to meet daddy. I held Wendy’s hands, stood beside her, and we ran together. She’s going to run to you like a small rocket so you’d better be ready to grab her [pg 2] up - And - another red letter day! Wendy stood alone several times without holding on to anything - not for very long of course and she always ended by sitting down with a thud. This morning Helen drove us downtown for the mail that wasn’t there, and to pick up a paper. When we got back - I worked out in the garden, raking, vigoring and transplanting a few plants. Afterwards Wendy took her nap and I sunbathed for two hours out on the patio. Finally, my back got burned - it’s a nice red brown color this evening. I do wish I could really get tanned, but guess I just don’t have the right kind of skin. Didn’t do anything much this afternoon except play with Wendy and write letters. Sweety, its still [pg 3] hard for me to realize that we have a baby, and it gets increasingly so the older she gets. Do you realize that she’s about the same age as Annette Williams, when we first saw her. Wendy is about the same size - her hair and skin are darker, but their eyes have the same mischievous twinkle. 8:30 P.M. Another day gone by - darling I feel you so close, can almost imagine that soon you will be popping in the front door - do hurry up sweety- there are so many months still ahead of us. Am going to reread some of your letters now - have a cigarette - pop in and out of the tub - gosh how I miss you, and then to bed. I love you, my darling Bobby
