49 Thursday 9:00 P.M. Nov. 2 My dearest darling: Mrs. Price has just gone home, after spending the evening here. I'm glad she came, because she was feeling very upset - she worries so about the election, that it practically wears her out. We grouse about living alone etc. etc. and probably both feel better. Bev N. phoned to say that Capt. Janes was returning tomorrow, and that she and Gil would collect the laundry tomorrow morning, will write a thank you note and enclose money to cover the phone etc. For some reason I was delighted to hear that Gil's cousin has been honeymooning there - makes it seem much less personal to me, and I'm so glad that I don't have to go up there myself. This afternoon Wendy and I met Mrs. Wilson downtown (She was the one I liked at Marjorie Wurzman's tea) and she said again that she wanted Wendy and me to come visit, and that she would phone within the next few days. On our way I stopped in at the Carmel Art Gallery - just long enough to glance over the exhibits quickly, and know that I would like to return sometime when I don't have to park Wendy outside. [pg 2] Little sweetie was just precious this afternoon. I wish I could send her to you to see for yourself. Have you received the photograph and snapshots I sent? I wish we could afford to have Wendy's picture taken every month. She would just love to be with you so she wouldn't have to wear any clothes. I think her happiest time is when I undress her before her bath and let her kick and play and while I exercise her arms and legs. We make bread out of her too, and she loves it- another one is bouncing Mummy's face on Wendy's tummy- that always brings forth a series of gleeful chuckles. Tonight for the first time I started [Right Foot print] [Right hand print] If you think it was easy to trace these you’re wrong - Wendy wasn't in the least cooperative. [pg 3] telling her the story of KeKo, the pussy. She snuggled down in my arms, and watch very intently, smiling when I smiled, and she seemed to enjoy it very much - especially the part about KeKo's whiskers! You’d better pick up some stories for Wendy's bedtime when you get back, because I shall be all storied out. Wendy will be ready for you to take a big part in her life. When you’re home again, and Mummy shall sit back and enjoy herself til we’re ready to give Wendy a little brother or sister. I do hope you will be back soon enough so that we don't feel we want to start another sprout immediately. Already I put things away as Wendy outgrows them, and think what fun it will be to answer Wendy's questions and can see the look of wonderment on her face. You are going to be proud of your daughter, darling I'm sure. Sweety, what can I drink beside sherry for going to sleep - something that doesn't need to be mixed. Must clean up the kitchen now, and write the note - tomorrow's a big day - our beginning the 3rd year of the log and Wendy's 5 mo. Birthday. I wish I could change beds with you or better still share one - I love you so much - Bobby
