Monday April 14
Dearest "Doc".
I may as well begin this overdue letter with the best and most important news I know and that is that I am once again an "auntie" to a new nephew born April 2nd!
We are all enthralled over him and at the time I am with my sister using whatever nursing technique I've acquired thus far!
This is Monday afternoon. Michael, the baby and my Sister are all snoozing, so I grabbed at this one free moment to write to you remembering that you were waiting for a bit of information regarding Anne' birth date, that to get to the point cleared is April 19th! I know that she will be surprised just to know you might have "remembered". She doesn't know about the fact that I am writing this letter to you!
It is perfectly heavenly in Valparaiso. An ideal day for hiking or just fooling around out-of-doors! For the past days the weather has been very damp and cold, so now that ta really nice day has come along, we are all more than grateful and quite excited!
I have taken an emergency leave of two weeks and honestly I'm loving every minute of being away from that place for awhile. Confidentially I think I needed a little change - but it will be good to get back again too!
My Sister and brother-in-law were unable to get a nurse in this city, so Mrs. Stevens came for a few weeks, but not being a Spring Chicken she was once, it was too much to ask of her, so now I'm going to see how great my perseverance is at this "tender" age of mine (a gluten for punishment if I ever heard of one)
I have some delightful music on the radio - some of your favorites "Offenbach's -Now Hydra, ah contentment!
This is all for now, Doc, I must write to my Mother now, she hasn't heard from me for so long she most likely thinks I am dead! - So write whenever you find the time - to the Sanitarium.
Hope you and your family had a nice Easter!
Sincerely,
Jo Roberts
