Later Sunday Afternoon My darling: - Ever since December 25-’42, I've been wondering just how it would feel to write this first letter to you - No I am beginning to find out - You've been gone just a very short while, and already I am beginning to wonder how long it will be before you are back again! But- how lucky we are to have such a short distance separating us, and for so brief a time - ‘Wendy-Warren’ just gave a sympathetic thump - you've [pg 2] left me in good hands honey - with ‘W-W’ Muz and KeKo to keep me from getting too lonesome - Muz is listening to “Silver Theatre” - soon we will have supper, and then to bed. Tomorrow we will make the ‘fixings’ for our room, and have an elegant idea for the two maple chairs here in the living room. Wednesday afternoon hope to have Toni and Mrs. Wilson to tea - Thursday Muz is going to Brooklyn with me, and then to have lunch with Helen. She expects to leave Friday - will fill in the 'in-betweens' as they happen - Sweety, is your other blue suit to go to the cleaners? You don't know how much of an “inner-dither” I was in before you left - or perhaps you do- and I'm so glad I didn't disgrace my-[pg 3] self by sympathizing publicly with the weather! You probably told me what to do but it just didn't register - Aunt B. just phoned and Muz had to speak to her, Helen and Anna! Muz has been telling me all about her wedding dress - perhaps Wendy will be able to wear it someday - Well darling you’re about half way there - and I'm with you every minute wishing I was along too - Hope you will be able to phone real soon, and tell me where you've settled and everything - 'Til tomorrow - and with my love - all of it - B- P.S. Found the enclosed in the Time Magazine section [pg 4] It's 8:45 now sweety - you should be in Washington, and I'm going to bed but just couldn't [?] without saying good-night - I do miss you darling - please don't think I'm a silly - it's just that I love you so much - It's a good thing Muz is here or I probably would have followed you on the next train - Hurry back to me darling - Monday Evening Hi dearest: My goodness but this has been a busy day - We got up at 9:00 and had breakfast - straightened up, and then started to work on the gingham - We got lots of ideas we worked - (KeKo is prowling around the desk chair with a piece of organdy) By 1:00 we had the draperies hemmed and all the other pieces cut out - Just wait [pg 5] til you see what we’re doing with my old dressing table skirt! After lunch we both took naps, and about four Betty and Sally came to call - About 5:00 Muz and I went out in quest of some organdy, and we ended our search successfully in Harlem! Darling, there is a wonderful inexpensive yard goods store there - where we can get anything we'll ever need - We had a leisurely pick-up supper - apple juice, scrambled eggs and green beans, toast and jam, Napoleons and coffee. Now we’re hard at work sewing again, and Muz is giving me tips on baby care. It's so good to have her here - [pg 6] Tomorrow Muz is going downtown and will have lunch with Helen - I'm going to stay home - sew and fix a super special supper - Wednesday afternoon Toni and Mrs. Wilson are coming and in the evening Muz is taking Frances, Nancy and me to dinner - Thursday to Brooklyn and Friday we’re having lunch with Peg Tweedy, and then Muz is going up to Conn. You just phoned darling, and it was so very good to talk with you - I was hoping you’d call, but didn't really expect it - mmm Sweety- I do love you so very much. I'm so excited that I've forgotten all the things I wanted to tell you - guess I'll close and mail this right away quick - Muz sends love - And I'll tuck mine along too - B-
