142 January 26 - Fri. 8:30 P.M. My dearest one: Wendy and I put in a busy afternoon, and both of us are pleasantly tired tonight. We had a gay time downtown with Marge and Pat - milk shaked at the creamery, went shopping at [Denslow's?] (a very lovely gift shop) I didn't buy anything but saw two of the most luscious nighties - one pale yellow, the other white, and both trimmed with lots and lots of lace. I do want to wait til later on, and savor the delights of replenishing my wardrobe for you. Can you believe that Wendy and I will have matching dresses this summer? I can't. Two women walked past Wendy's carriage while we were out and remarked on what a beautiful baby she is. She manages to collect an audience whenever I leave her outside a store. I love to watch from inside - see her look at the people intently; and then smile showing her two teeth. At the Juvenile shop I bought little sweetie a pair of soft green [pg 2] seersucker overalls, and a yellow and white striped skivvy shirt. She doesn't wear baby clothes any more - and the next warm [day?] I'm going to wash everything she's outgrown and put them away. When we got home - Marge came over to press a dress, and had me laughing til my sides ached. Her parting shot - after looking in our mirror was ‘God - will you look at me, without my harness!’ referring of course to her rapidly expanding middle. ‘Charlene’ is due the end of April. Got all the books wrapped - am sending 3 envelopes of paper bound books First Class - and 2 packages regular mail. Will phoned tonight - he's taking me out to dinner this Sunday afternoon. Had a swell letter from Ruth today and Wendy a note from Pete thanking her for the shirt we sent. Have #112 to look forward to tomorrow - unless the mailman plays tricks again. Met Gerry downtown at the P.O. and she said her mail had been held up too. Going to clip some magazines for you now - then take a bath, and to bed. I love you darling with all my heart- Bobby
