12 WEST WALTON PLACE
Dearest L.D.W.
We have thought of you constantly and I have been able to remember my sensations “abdominally” and otherwise on each day of the first week. Your pangs must have been worse than mine for your cutting was more extensive and I think to start off [page 2] with a blood transfusion was a bit too much. But it is all over, praise be, and Miss Geddes' kind messages are more and more cheering. Miss Shilsby's note to us about the touching concern which all the world was showing and, of course, I loved that though I also took it for granted. They -- the world -- can’t show too much affection and [page 3] gratitude. Much more is "owing" you than you'll ever get.
Miss Geddes has been too kind about notes and telegrams. I do hope Saugatuck will be peaceful and restorative. There is no use begging you to be a prudent convalescent. I only hope [someone] will bully you.
We are having a sort of spring celebration at H.H. Eleanor's cantata [page 4] and a bazaar, the opening of the tiny new Laura Dainty Pelham memorial cottage and general county openings.
J.A has her tonsils heated almost daily and I prance back and forth for asthma tests and vaccines.
But we're "coming up" fast. Mrs. Bowen and Eleanor have asked for daily news of you with impassioned interest and both send affection and [page 5] sympathies.
I'm too thankful that your first weeks' soreness is past.
Endless love to you and great rejoicing for the good news.
Always devotedly yours
M
