Tuesday,

 

My Dearest Hal,

            As you can see I had my days mixed.  Dr. Thomas says we can go home on Thursday if all goes well.  I’m sure everything will so I’m counting on it.  The doctor circumsized the baby today and I’m glad to have that done before we leave the hospital.  Sam has always seemed to have no trouble with his and I think the sooner it’s done the less trouble they have with it.

            What shall we call Robert Page Wilson?  I have never cared for Bobby.  I don’t think I can call him Rob.  There could never be but one Rob and I still miss him too much.  How about Bob Page?  Is that too much?  I have an idea that Sam will name him and we will all call him by what ever name Sam picks for a nick name.

            I think I wrote you that the baby had scratched his face very badly and that I gave him a manicure under great difficulty.  Today his face is much better and in a day or so I’m sure he will be all healed.  He is mighty sweet Though he is not a pretty baby like Sam was.  Maybe I’ve forgotten what Sam looked like just at first but they soon improve.

 

            I had a nice letter from Elizabeth yesterday so today I wrote to her.  She says you  do not write to her but I know you do when you have time.

            We are all excited over Billy’s homecoming.  How I wish I thought you would soon be coming too.  However I’m afraid things don’t look so promising.  It is almost impossible to find any place to live.  You can now get permission to build but you can’t get the materials.  All kinds of house hold furnishings are scarce and you can hardly believe what they cast.  It’s a bad time to change our way of living if only we can stick out this separation for awhile longer it will probably be for the best.  By the way do you get per diem this time?

            I think I wrote you that I’m not trying to nurse this baby.  I hope you will approve of this.  Dr. Thomas seems to think Sam’s allergy  might have been aggravated(?) by my nursing him though I doubt it.  Anyway I want to do whatever is best for the baby.  I’m glad he is gaining and I’m sure he will do all right.  They gave me some pills to dry up my milk and I have had absolutely no trouble.  Sometime that can be sorta’ bad but 2 have been lucky in every way.  Darling, I’m running out of ink so I’ll have to stop for this time.

                                                                                    All my love,
