Description
Friday Evening [6/9] Warren dearest mine:- In a minute or two Wendy will be down for chow, and I'll sure be glad - Will explain the details to you - it's quite something. This afternoon there were at least a dozen or more Waves in here at the candy box. They drill today and do they ever hate it - Some of them are too cute, others just plain funny- Have just a few pages of Chin P'ing Mei's first volume to finish - It gets more and more heated, but don't think its nearly as bad as most of our own current novels - It is just the right size for reading here, and probably by Tuesday I will have finished the second volume. [pg 2] Dr. Pyle was just in to see me, and had some of his “nutrition.” Wendy was completely delightful as usual - She has a mind of her own even now, and if she wants to call it quits a few minutes early, nothing will induce her to start up again - Tonight I really held her in my arms, and hummed to her, she tucked one fist against her cheek, tucked the other under her chin and after taking a yawn went sound asleep. Visiting hours tonight and since I don't expect company reread all your letters and cards instead - Back to some more reading - will add a note before going to bed. 8:00 Well my goodness - I did have a visitor after all! Edna came bringing some lovely red roses - She was very enthusiastic about Wendy, who was the first baby shown and evidently made a hit with the crowd - [pg 3] Edna said her eyes were open, as well as her mouth (looking for something to eat no doubt) There was a little announcement in the Eagle last night - hope we can get hold of a copy - must not let any of Wendy's publicity slip by. Finished the first volume - reread the introduction, and a few pages of the second volume - Guess I'll read and doze some more til Wendy comes in for her night [?] - add a P.S. and then go to sleep - Three more nights to go - Just think tomorrow morning Wendy will be a whole week old! I'll give her the birthday kiss, I know you’d want her to have- 10:00 Your special arrived (Thursday! While Wendy was here, and we read it together- Oh darling make the day you’re home to stay come quickly - we need you [pg 4] so much - [?] will give you some extra time with us - They've just go to - Saturday Morning Darling:- Wendy has just returned to the nursery after her birthday party - she enjoyed every bit of it - after refreshments we played “this little piggy” and she had two birthday kisses from us one over each ear. Feel really good this morning, and had an elegant sleep - Expect to finish all my letter writing today, and will give you the letters to mail tomorrow - I do hope Jean comes this afternoon- It's 10:38 and our daughter is officially one week old - Ten o'clock feeding passed uneventfully - Wendy now takes her full twenty minutes and fortunately tho I have a surplus, it is not enough to make me uncomfortable or mess [pg 5] up my nighties - Speaking of messing up, both the maid and nurse told me this morning that I had the neatest room on the corridor! We’re having a torrential downpour - smells good, but will probably keep Jean away this afternoon, and I'm sorry for that, as I've looked forward so much to seeing her- The garden roses Edna brought are so lovely, just like having a small arbor of my own right here -
