June 6

Dear Doc,

I miss your letters but I guess in order to get one, one must write letters, So!

I have been at my sister's enjoying the peace and quiet of family life.  I'm having a wonderful time with my young nephew, Mike.  We are planting a flower garden, oh boy have I turned domestic.  It is a relished change.  I feel rather nervous and helpless with the baby though.  He is two months - funny looking little bird.  I think babies are ugly until about six months.  They remind me of featherless birds - Remember Pam?

What are you doing?  If I may ask.  Also when is your vacation? 

My sister is in Chicago for the day.  I'm having a wonderful time with her record collection.  For your benefit I am playing the Gaité Parisienne - any requests?  This is a lovely afternoon.  It is raining and very dismal.  The boys are napping so I have peace.  This is really fun.  My brother-in-law and sister think I'm batty.  I keep suggesting they go out.  I enjoy the boys so much, taking care of them is no task at all.  Maybe I am just a "home-body" after all.  Anyway it is a change.  Pardon me time out for a change.

Oh say, you should see me now.  The Milwaukee Sanitarium was never like this.  Gosh, I really can fly to the head of the class.  I can now boast my diapers do stay on- Big accomplishment.

Listen Doc, give "Honey" a rest and do write me a letter.  I think you owe me one.  So you had better get busy.  I wish it would stop raining.  I am in the mood for  some golf.  Guess I'll go out with my sister tomorrow.  Care to join us?

I really must close - Baby is crying.  Must do my duty as a "mother".

As ever,

Anne
