(1967 April 21)
Thoroly enjoyed your section on Lawrence [age 18 months], Skippy II, chip off the old block. No nap while he is awake. Gee, I don't know whether I could cope with him singlehanded or not. He is getting to be a real person - his pictures are darling.

First letter

We hope you are getting along nice. I wish you would write soon. from your Loving Carolyn X+X+

Animal crackers
(1993 December late)
Believe it or not, I have just eaten a whale fish, and before that a graham hippopotomus. How could I resist with the box open on the coffee table before me? -- Sherry, [at Christmas] when we sat around half starved waiting for the call to supper, Skip would say, "Sherry's present!" and each of us would devour an entire wild animal with no trouble at all.

Drawing class
Mrs. Brice, wife of clergyman, just left, having invited me to a drawing class Monday. The first lesson will be to draw an apple, and the next an article standing near the apple. I am thinking of a spider and web.

Silent star
(1994 January 2, on postcard with picture of Norma Talmadge)
Here comes a movie star I used to love and go to see whenever I could afford it. Not too much.

Dachshund
(1994 January)
The maid often sits down, and we talk a while - tonight about our pet dogs. They have a wiener dog, her husband's pet. Sits up as easily as lies down. Never taught.

Be prepared
(1994 January)
I turned the light on beside my bed and POP the bulb burned out. What to do? In the dark I felt for my call bell on top of my blanket and pressed the button. Soon came the maid, who turned on the overhead. The maintenance man had left a bulb here in case I needed it, at my suggestion, and soon all was in order - a tempest in a teapot.
