93 Wednesday Dec. 13 - 7:30 P.M. My dearly beloved: Mummy sure is tired tonight - Wendy had a reaction to her shot this afternoon - cried almost steadily and wouldn't eat any supper. She doesn't have any fever, so I guess she will be alright tomorrow. This morning I received your long delayed #61 and now we have all through #65. I added a note for Doug, and mailed the letter this afternoon. The letter from Agnes [Nohrnberg?] is enclosed - wrote her a note and gave her your address. On our way home stopped in to say good-by to Bev - she was still cleaning up, so I did the dishes for her - Also stopped in to see Marge Mulligan - Pat is fine now - but Marge is feeling low because Chuck may not be here for Christmas. After lunch I took a few things out of our trunk - the wooden cheese tray I put on the piano behind the bowl of fruit - slung the afghan over the stair bannister - put the little green and brown vase on the desk beside your picture and put the candlewick spread and our quilt on the bed. Just a few things, but they makes this more our home and bring you so much closer. [pg 2] The Express man brought our Christmas package from Memphis. I haven't sinned yet, but several times I've come awfully close to it. Had to take all the packages out and throw the outside wrappings away - so I wouldn't have a trash can full on Christmas Day. The can is only emptied once a week - and my daily paper bags just about fill it. The cards are intriguing, but that's as far as I got. This morning we saw the first Christmas trees and wreaths - smelled good - but I get a sinking feeling everytime I realize you won't be home to spend the day with us. Paula has asked us to Christmas dinner, but I don't know whether we will go. Gosh darling I'm so tired I can't think straight - just don't have any reserve energy anymore. Wendy wanted to send you a lock of her hair, but there wasn't enough to spare -so I fastened hers and mind together. It's gotten quite a bit longer hasn't it? I'm going to bed early tonight, because I have to go have my tooth filled tomorrow. How can I tell you how much I need you and love you. Bobby
