60 Sunday Nov. 11 9:15 P.M. 11/42 Waffle Wing - Introduction to Casey - the flamingo-[Blenheims?] - bowling at 4:00 A.M. 11/43 Holding tight-Jean and Henry stopped by this afternoon - We sent a bushel of apples to M. and F. The red kitty has one eye opened. My dearest darling: I’m sitting here curled up in the armchair listening to the symphony and writing - they’re playing the Viennese Waltz just having fun: shed Franck's Symphony in D. I'm sleepy from a glass of sherry we had before supper. This morning about 11:00 we walked downtown with P and K - Keeo was thrilled when I let her help wheel the carriage. At the P.O. there were 2 letters from M and F, one from Muz, one from Jean - and a 5 pager from you - It was a wonderful letter, and I've been rereading it all day. We then walked around downtown - decided to eat Thanksgiving dinner out together, and then come on home. Marge and Jeff stopped by about 4:00 - the two babies just about ‘ate up’ the Sports Section of the Sunday paper which I gave them to play with. Wendy had printers ink all over her face and hands - together with cucumber from her first piece of zwiebach. About 5 P and K came over - they watched Wendy have her bath and dinner again. After she was safely tucked in - we had our supper -[pg 2] Baked beans, Bisquick cinnamon rolls, carrot and raisin salad - canned figs and Toll House cookies I baked - Gladys' phoned to say that two letters from me had been put in her box by mistake: Of course, my curiosity took hold so Paula drove us down (Wendy snugly wrapped in a blanket I warmed over the register) The letters were from Will and Mottsie - so I was glad we went down. The letters from Will and Jean I'm sending in separate envelopes, the same time as this. Tomorrow morning we are driving over to Pacific Grove - and I hope to do some Christmas shopping at Holmans. Also plan to buy some material and patterns for Wendy. Paula is an experienced sewer, and I hope to learn a lot from her. Wendy is such fun to dress - never fusses - can hardly wait for her hair to grow long enough to curl. I'm so glad you are getting mail again - Have sent out at least 7 packages to you - do you suppose they will ever catch up with you - Nothing important, but I do want you to have some sort of a Christmas. Will look for the folder tomorrow, and see if I can find one. Hope to have some more pictures to send on Tuesday. Marcia has received the coral necklace so you will probably have a note from her soon - I'm awfully glad you sent it. [pg 3] Hope the conjunctivitis clears up - it's a nuisance I know - particularly when your eyelashes are all stuck together in the morning. Speaking of lashes - Wendy's are lovely-dark, long and curly - Her face, even now, is bright - much more so than most babies around - even older ones - and strangers who stop to look at her comment on her eyes and facial expression. You will just have to be home when she gets to the questioning stage - I'll never be able to keep pace with her. The ben and jo has turned into ‘jo-jo’ - we'll just have to wait til Wendy talks and find out what happens - She hasn't missed a day yet - and I'm so glad - Her mummy is getting better too- Have three papers ready to send - keep the outgoing mail on the piano and the rest of the letters on the desk. Must bend the hair and to bed [jo?] Goodnight darling - lots of love from your big and little sweeties- Bobby
