Saturday Evening [6/24/44] My darling: Time is hanging heavy tonight - sort of wish you’d surprize me and come home, but know you won't……so I will try to be patient until Thursday. This morning Wendy and I went out alone - First we went to the Post Office to mail grandfather's letter and a greeting to [pg 2] you - then to the drugstore to look over the negative and order prints of the pictures we took last Sunday - think we have some good ones - they are expected back next Thursday. All that accomplished, we went to Morningside Drive and as we were walking along met Johnny [Kueuball's?] wife out with Pritchard - They are expecting another baby next March - sooner than they had planned, but they of course are very pleased nevertheless. We jabbered for about an hour, and I promised to drop in on them [pg 3] when you got home. This afternoon Betty, Sally, and Rusty stopped by - and Wendy chose that particular time to have a crying spell much to her mother's chagrin. Mrs. Wilson phoned to ask if I had any news via you about Hugh - could [chant?] her [one?] cheerfully - While we were on Morningside Drive - all the youngsters crowded around Wendy's carriage and asked numerous questions i.e. “Is she yours?” “How old is she” “When is her [pg 4] birthday?” “Is she a little girl or a little boy?” “Do you have any other children? My mother has four little girls! “Doesn't she ever open her eyes?” “Could I wheel her?” etc., etc., etc. Felt like a quiz program, but thoroughly enjoyed it. To cat nap now til Wendy's feeding - She really stuffed today and besides drank and seemed to enjoy her orange juice. Think she is going to thoroughly love the life we are planning- Hurry, hurry home darling, or some night you will find Wendy and me on your doorstep- I love you too- Bobby
