Monday Afternoon Sweety darling: So busy I've been - last night after writing a brief note to you, I worked on the scrapbook and got it all up to date - from the Language Sch. Graduation through the two match covers you sent home last week- I found the tweezers too when I cleaned out the sewing basket - Didn't sleep well, but got up feeling fine and full of energy - There was a cat on [pg 2] the prowl up and down the block all night - making purry noises - and of course every time he sounded off, KeKo had to leap off the bed and out the window to see what was up - waking us up- This morning I had your postcard a letter from [Mottsie?] with breakfast - David has applied for a commission in Public Health - He will be a j.q. with insignia and salary but without the Lt. will be called Dr. instead. Muz phoned to ask if there were any new developments, and if I wanted her to come up. I suggested tomorrow instead, because there was (‘W-W’ is moving around so much I can't think straight) so much to do -She said that she had received five letters from Doug, and [pg 3] that he was in fine spirits. Mother phoned - also Kay asking me if I’d like to have dinner Wed. evening at Butler Hall with her and Gloria Vela (another Barnardian) They will call for me and I think I'll serve some port - after dinner will come back here for awhile - Fixed your shirt, honey, and made you a batch of brownies - will mail both in a little while - If it is warm you will probably need the shirt, and be able to have it laundered faster in Washington- Right now I am in the midst of a washing - when that is done I will walk to the post office and library - More later darling- 4:40 Have just come home from mailing [pg 4] your package, the library where I reserved a copy of Ambassador [G_'s?] book when it comes in - Met Sally, Betty, and Rusty out for an airing. Also paid our paper bill and told them that you’d notify them when I went to the hospital. It's warm out but comfortably cool in the apartment. We had a package from Jean Van Wyck Brooks “Opinions of Oliver Allstor,” doesn't know anything about it, but looks as if it might make good reading- 6:30 P.M. Have just finished a supper of tuna salad, 2 gingerbread cupcakes and iced coffee- a thunderstorm just started - plan to read the [pg 5] “Reader's Digest” and listen to the radio this evening and go to bed early - I trimmed ‘W-W's’ coming home cap this afternoon, and the suitcase is ready except for a pair of slippers which are ordered. Another day nearer dearest-I need you here to reassure me that everything will be alright - don't know why I persist in having that little undertone of fear…. Well my darling - I must get a letter off to grandfather and one to Jean - hate to stop writing - wish you were here to talk with me tonight - My love and thoughts are with you always- Bobby
