200 March 20 - Tuesday - 8:15 P.M. My Dearest Darling: This has been quite a day - It started as soon as we got to Dr. Lusiguan's office - Wendy screamed and didn't stop til we left - not only that, but she soaked the table! Evidently she remembered her last shot - I've never heard such noise - I couldn't hear a thing Dr. Lusiguan said, and he had to repeat everything. As soon as we got out to the car she started to sob, and then began to laugh - We don't have to go again til she's a year old - and by then perhaps she will have forgotten - I certainly hope so. Dana and I did some shopping and then went to lunch - Wendy banged everything she could on the table, and ended up by slurping her hamburger off the plate. On the way home she behaved very well, and when we got back ate all [pg 2] her lunch and drank the whole bottle. But-when I picked her up to put her in her crib she burped up about half of what she had eaten all over my new pink sweater, green suit skirt and shoes. At that point I was too tired to even care. Oh almost forgot - Wendy weighs 19 ¼ lbs and is 26 ¼ inches long - starts cottage cheese and scraped beef. That completes her diet, now I can start variations, and by the time you get home she will be eating almost all the things we do. This afternoon she was angelic and was in a gay humor til I put her to bed. We stopped by to see Bev and drove over to Monterey with her to pick up some records. She's awfully good with Wendy - and loves to carry her whenever we go anyplace. I heard a little bit about the week-end but didn't ask any questions. I was surprized and very [pg 3] happy to get your letter #165 this morning because I was expecting a gap in my mail. I was so pleased to hear that your jaunt was all over. The letters I got yesterday were late so there was no break at all. No, none of the names of the men you came across sound familiar - I might recognize some of them by sight. Steve was anchored in harbor perhaps waiting for a convoy. His mail to Dana has been making exceptionally good time. Met Barbara in town this afternoon, and she was good and tight. Eyes not clear, rolling gait, and exhaling brandy - she was coherent - surprizingly so. Wendy and I received another box from M and F today. There were two darling pinafores for W. My favorite is all white shirting trimmed with white eyelet embroidery - the other white dotted swiss trimmed with blue peasant braid - some socks - a tiny, white embroidered cardigan and six pairs [pg 4] of very nice stockings for me - Four pairs I'm going to put away in my “new clothes for Warren” box. It's raining - makes the living room feel so cosy - All I need is you beside me - I love you my darling- Bobby 20/43 Helen and Charlie came to borrow the bicycle. 20/44 Arrived in N.Y. about an hour late. Picked KeKo up, and he looked most unhappy - Phoned M and F - got settled - To Kingsholm for lunch, but it was closed - Double tea at Altman's (Remember sweety?) Louise - shopping for book, frame and nursery furniture - dinner in Terrace Room.
