Sunday Night [6/11/44] Darling Wendy's Daddy:- Hi again, and its 7:45 - I'm reluctantly back in bed catching up on odds and ends. Find that this is the end of my writing paper supply, so the note to Jack and Simone will have to wait until Tuesday night. You should be half way back to Washington now. Six whole days til you’re back, and already I'm impatient. Had dinner sitting in the rocker, with the tray on the other chair - The S.O.B. walked in and said, “What day is this for you?” When I told her, she chuckled [pg 2] and said, “If I see you runnin' round the halls again tonight, I'll wup you” - Poor gal, I think she's just afraid of the doctors! Have the mouse for company again tonight - told one of the nurses it might be a good idea if they set a trap for it after I leave! Wendy had a good dinner, I gave her your present and she held it in her fist - looked so cute - Walked her up and down the room a few times and she went sound asleep. Her shirt was so big - she just about fell out of it - Put her on the bed, and took off her blanket so she could kick and stretch awhile, and she seemed to enjoy it- Honey, did I ever tell you that we received the cards you sent? We did enjoy them - they too came while Wendy was visiting- A good night note at 10:00- It's only 9:15 that damn mouse has [pg 3] kept me in bed, but darn it in about two minutes I'm going to get up and get washed, so as to be ready for Wendy- Don't forget to mail the Father's Day card, sweety, then I won't have to think about it. One more night - tomorrow will be a long day, but this one was so short don't mind a bit - Darling, I love you so much, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about it, and it's not sentimentality, but meant with all my heart- Up again and making lots of noise to keep the mouse away - I've been slapping newspaper most of the evening - Wendy is still in my arm, but held carefully over the bed - She sends love and a good-night daddy dear - a long with pleasant dreams from her mother- [pg 4] Mornin: Wendy just finished chow and is on the bed, kicking and stretching for all she's worth and She wants to go home to her pretty nursery - as for me - I can hardly wait to see her in one of her nighties all snug in the bassinette - She just got the hiccups and looks so surprized - 9:40 Card from Mrs. Wilson, and package here which they haven't brought over yet - time for Wendy - Package was from Toni via Mrs. Wilson, a lovely pink afghan with long fringes- Tried Wendy's going home cap on, and it's so big 7:45 Didn't mean to neglect you darling, but I had an awful scare this morning. [pg 5] Something happened that I hadn't been warned about and I just shook for two hours. Outside of that the day went quite fast. Two other girls on this corridor are going home tomorrow, and we've been running around together - Phoned Mother and Father Carpen and got all the instructions across. Also phoned Kay and Dot and will go out to dinner with them next Monday and Wednesday- Feels somewhat tired tonight, and am beginning to realize that it's going to be awfully good to have Miss Fuuke about - 7:30 P.M. My darling:- Home again at last! A bit tired but [?] so happy - having you here tonight would make our world complete [pg 6] - I'm waiting for your phone call, and listening to WQXR. Your special to us was waiting when Wendy and I gaily arrived home and we read and loved your welcome to use right away- Wendy is so precious, and it's so good to have her in her own bed and clothes - She is going to sleep in our room til you’re home - All her clothes are way too big, but she looks so cute in them - Hurry up this weekend!!! 9:00 Must go to bed - Betty just left - Such fun talking with you tonight sweety - A big long letter tomorrow - Goodnight and dream of us - We’re yours- B-
