141 January 26-Fri. 2:00 P.M. Hi darling: This is another one of these days, and I've just come in from watering the garden. It doesn't seem at all like January. Received #113 this morning, and Wendy and I started right out on a book hunt for you. We got one book at the dime store, two at the bookstore, and then we really got a bright idea. Went to the library - had a nice talk with the librarian, and she gave me a whole [pile?] of discarded children's books - ABCs and simple stories. Will mail them all in small packages First Class over the next week or so. On our way home we mailed two packages and in one of them you will find a polishing cloth. You might write the head librarian (I don't know her name) a note, she was very much interested in the idea of the U.S. setting up a school, and know she would be glad to help you in any way she possibly can. I do envy you - your new job - and Wendy and I would love to be there to see the children. Wendy - little bunny that she is. I caught her hiding remains of crackers under her high chair seat - then making [pg 2] noises for a fresh one! She shows increasing signs of intelligence, and they are a constant source of delight to me. And she has the longest curly eyelashes! More later - we’re off to town with Marge and Pat now. I love you darling - Wendy and I send you a little and big bear hug- Bobby 25/43 One month today, and we had a celebration - red carnation steak and wedding cake - KoKo celebrated too! Her first vegetables went down accompanied by a surprized look, and lots of tiny audible burps - but she's enjoyed the experience and so did we. 25/44 Baked a very good coffee cake and cookies - Fran came to tea and stayed for a pat buck supper.
