238 Monday - April 23 - 9:30 P.M. My Dearest Darling: So tired again - just can’t seem to catch up with myself. Last night - rather this morning I woke up feeling sick at three and didn’t get back to sleep til 5:00. Felt alright when I got up this morning - but here I am again - Oh well - can’t last forever, so I’ll stop fussing right now. Two letters from you this morning and that tantalizing Special “Open April 27th” which I’ve put away so I won’t be tempted. Sweety, I do hope that you are over your cold - it was probably a result of overtiring yourself - I am sorry that you have had so much routine work to do. Besides your letters - we received an $85 dividend check from Mother - Isn’t that wonderful - boasts our [pg 2] saving account almost up to $450 - She also sent me two nighties for my birthday - one is pale pink appliquéd in the same shade of satin - the other is light blue sprinkled with tiny rosebuds and for-get-me-nots and lots of lace all over the top. I tried them on, and they both fit perfectly- I hope you will like them. Muz sent a photograph of Doug - serious, but good. And remember the bathrobe which Dotsie Gellat sent Wendy and which she never got? Well it arrived today - white cotton with an all over pattern of tiny red French poodles - its darling and just right for her to wear out here. Started redoing the wooden box - first I sandpapered the rough edges, then put on a coat [pg 3] of flat white. When that dried I put on the first coat of soft green enamel - I think its going to be quite attractive when it is all finished - I took a picture of it for you. While we were shopping this afternoon, ran into Jerry and Dickie, and I treated us all to ice cream cones. Wendy ate a good half of mine - very daintily sticking her tongue out to lick, and getting just a little bit trickling down her nose and chin - We did have one mishap while we were out, but it didn’t have anything to do with the ice cream. I parked her in the stroller outside a stone which has window boxes in the front. A few minutes later I heard excited exclamations and laughter, so [pg 4] I went to investigate - There was Wendy a plant in each hand, dirt and leaves in her mouth, and more all over her face and down her front! I wish I had had the camera along to take a picture for you. She also lost one of her shoes along the way, and I couldn’t find it, so we had to stop and buy a new pair - Darling I just can’t stay awake - Tonight I sleep for you and tomorrow will send the pajamas off to you. A big hug - soft kiss - I love you terribly much- Bobby
