202 March 22 - 8:45 P.M. Thursday My dearest darling: Have just finished supper. Walter phoned Helen from Seattle tonight - that's why I'm late - His trip must have been very miserable - nearly everyone was seasick, and of course they are very crowded. Its been raining all day except for a bit of sunshine about six oclock. No mail from you. I got down this morning while Helen stayed with Wendy. This afternoon little sweetie and I sewed, recited nursery rhymes, played pat-a-cake, and Wendy pulled books out of the bookcase. I took all her clothes off about five and let her exercise on the bed for about twenty minutes. She covers the bed in nothing flat to get down to the end so that she can pull herself up on the footboard and hold on to the post. She looks like a picture cherub, all pink and round - [pg 2] eyes full of excitement, and hair wisping every which way. Her skin is nicely tanned and she has rosy cheeks. She's a saucy little fanny - I'll have to take a back view of her swinging down the street when she is able to walk really well - of course that may not be for a good while yet- Six months gone - I thought it was going to feel like a big accomplishment when we finally got here, but it doesn't really, and I am looking forward to next September. How bout sending me the pajamas - I could boil the bottoms, and dry them in the sun; and I would still have the tops - Even if the birthday box didn't arrive I’d have those - Time to pick Wendy up and put her on the toidey. She is so sleepy - wakes up just long enough to smile, take a shiver, stretch, sigh contentedly and go right back to sleep. We send you all our love - and a big and little hug- Bobby
