[back of envelope - “Wendy turned from her tummy to her back on the floor today!] Saturday [9/30] 1:10 P.M. My dearest darling:- More fog, but the sun is trying so hard to come out. Wendy has been indoors for a week now, so this morning I put her in that pink bunting arrangement that Mrs. Mauley sent, tucked her in the basket and stuck her out on the bedroom balcony for two hours. I wish you could have seen her! The sirens are blowing, and each time I think maybe this is it - but of course it isn't. Phoned the Express Office this morning and they said that the two crates had just arrived and the charges were $53! I hastened to explain that that was the Navy's obligation, and they said they would check and call back later - probably on Monday. Wendy is on my lap because she wanted to get in on this letter too! We instigated a new game this morning - our bed has very springy springs - so I put Wendy on the bed and bounce her and she laughs and laughs- Our bedroom is quite attractive darling - big massive maple four [pg 2] poster with yellow and white candlewick spread and yellow silk quilt [?] dotted curtains at both windows and a wood night table with three drawers on top of which I have phone, reading lamp, and our picture, white wool embroidered rug on the floor and a large built in close cupboard. [Sketch] (Not very good and much more compact-) This afternoon I'm going downtown leaving Wendy with Mrs. Price and tonight I shall read and write letters. Tomorrow will probably wash, clean, sew on the machine, and I expect Bev for dinner- Wish I could tell you about the dream I had last night! If you visit me that way every now and again I'll be in fine shape when you get back!!! All our love, darling, Bobby LOVE, WENDY (pencil clutched fist with mummy's help. Not bad for 4 months-)
