Wednesday Evening 6:30 My dearest:- Have just finished supper and the dishes - ‘Dek’ is excellent company, sitting close beside me while I eat - mock turtle soup - lettuce and tomato, scrambled eggs, whole wheat bread, cupcake and milk- This has been a “making d[?]wet day” but I've been so busy that I hardly noticed the weather - The apartment fairly glistens tonight even in the out of the way corners [pg 2] - it's a very satisfactory feeling, but would be even more so if you were here to share in my housewifely pride - We are not the proud possessors of a brilliantly shiny black john seat - I felt a sort of a shock when it first appeared, but it looks very well with the black trim - If we don't get the painting done - lets try the water lily idea - think it might be very attractive- Got a cake you this afternoon - so I baked a batch of cupcakes with a light frosting [pg 3] - Will have them tomorrow afternoon if Muz brings Peg Tweedy up - Kay phoned about two o'clock - that gal sure keeps tabs on things. Spent a while telling me that Jim was soon to became a ^ (‘cause I'm not sure of spelling) and I will use the dictionary!!! [?] seems he now has pull in the National Guard and is getting to work with officers! Darling - I loved your Monday night letter, and have been thinking about it all day - I should not like to prescribe the most satisfactory individual as well as [pg 4] society, but it seems to me that a compromise with a basis of simplicity and directness varied with complexity and indirectness might make the [?] most content - or is it statements like this that make professors put question marks on exam papers? Slept for two hours this afternoon - feel tired tonight but not achey - In fact for the past few days haven't even had any interesting little pains to amuse me - Am going to take things easy from now on, and maybe things will come off on schedule - If we’re lucky honey - it's just a week to go - Good-night my darling - hold me tight - Bobby
