33- Thursday Oct. 19, 12:30 My dearest darling: We have just got back from Dr. [Lusignan’s?] and honey we should be so proud of our wonderful baby. Dr. [Lusignan?] says ‘she's just swell’ - She weighs 14 lbs. 6 oz. a gain of 2 lbs. and is 23 ½ inches long. She didn't cry a bit not even when he looked down her throat and in her ears! Added to her menu are meat soups (beef, liver and barley etc.) Little sweetie was dry when I got there, so I asked the nurse if I could take her to the bathroom. She looked surprized and dubious, but showed us the way and I held little sweetie up and off she went. The nurse laughed, and said she never would have believed it if she hadn't seen it! I was so proud just beamed all over. We had two letters together this morning as you had planned 21 and 22 and we were happy to hear the folder and proof had arrived and that you were [pg 2] pleased with them. The book box is in the Joneses’ yard, if we need it, but I've had no word about the books. How can we check on them? The news is swell this morning, and I'm hoping that's where you will be going rather than some at all. Will send every other letter to your new address and anything important I'll mention in both letters. Mother and Father sent me a swell Halo'ween box cookies, candy etc. which I shall share with all our new found friends. Love your idea about opening our Xmas packages together. I haven't marked anything ‘don't open’ but the cookies are all done in wax paper so you won't have any trouble finding them. You aren't the only one that's hungry darling! Will check for the Oxford. Your last two letters were postmarked Oct. 16. Margarita does look pixy(ie)ish! Little sweetie's hungry - We love you so much Bobby
