23- Monday Evening [10/9] My dearest darling: It's 9:00 and I'm listening to the news on Mrs. Price's radio, which she brought over tonight. Janey Robbins (remember, she was at Bev's cocktail party- Bostonian - her husband Joe was talking with you) just phoned and promised to come see me. I think I would like her. Bev was up a few minutes ago - her car all packed, and she expects to leave about six tomorrow morning. Honey, Monterey has been phoning about your books. They are on the bill of loading with the crib and carriage, but have not arrived yet. I asked the agent to hold the bill in case the books come freight. Wendy and I packed you a Christmas box this afternoon. You may open it or keep it til Christmas as you wish. I do hope you manage to have some sort of a happy Christmas. I've got dentist on my mind, and [pg 2] really should have my teeth looked at, but can't get anyone to stay with little sweetie. Have chosen the 7-8 hour in the evening for my reading. I read some thirty pages of ‘The Tempering of Russia’ and find it extremely interesting. I shall be anxious to have your opinion of it. This afternoon I went to the [Purety?] and spent 130 points for 1 can pineapple juice, small can of figs and tiny can of peaches. Felt most extravagant, but enjoyed the juice with my dinner tonight. I'm eating better darling, and feeling a bit guilty about it! Saw a gorgeous light blue satin robe at the same place we saw the pale green wool one - and wished that you were coming home soon, so that I could think of buying it! Goodnight my dearest one- Bobby
