My darling dear husband: At last!! Letters from you today and I am so relieved and happy that I’m just overcome, nearly!! There were two very interesting envelopes of clippings for-and! For a change, 2 red personal, handwriting letters. All week I’ve just gotten wordless clippings, which, while interesting, were disappointing. Your letters were July 27^th and 29^th –mailed one week ago today!! One quicker yes. No new news tonight: today I took the Olas mobile uptown, and had 3 A. ticker’s of gasoline put in (9 gallons) as the current ones die on Monday. I am surely glad I was forced to buy that new battery for the Olas, as I’ve known quite a while we needed one, but somehow hated to buy one. Now I have, and it’s nice to feel that the car is in top condition. I also took a lit bundle of “dirdy didies” to the Didy Woman, and collected the clean ones. Every other day is Dirdy Didy Day. We are surely enjoying the oranges mother sent-They’re the best yet. I am going to give some to the Corcorans, and some to Dr. Kelly, as oranges here are so hip now, 5.64 a dozen. I got o Dr. K tomorrow, to have myself and my angel babychild checked. We have to go once a month till he’s 6 months old. Jamie is fine, as usual, and even more adorable than ever. I’m fine, too, but oh so awfully seelie- yes awfully seelie. Wants needs needs NEEDS. Here are 4 kisses for your kiss place. Your wife.
