Sunday, July 30th
How does it feel to be really a Daddy, darling? Isn't it wonderful! I'm so happy sweetheart, there is only one thing to make every thing perfect. And you know what that is.
Little Lynn is such an adorable baby darling that you know I'm going to give her lots and lots of lovin. If it's true that you can spoil children with lots of love, then ours will be the most spoiled child you will ever hope to see.
I get to see the baby so seldom that I can hardly wait to get home where she will really and truly be mine and I can put sweet little white clothes on her. Gee honey, you surely knew your stuff when you sent that sweet little pink jacket. She's going to be blessed in it you know.
The hospital gives out a birth certificate with the baby's feet prints and Mother's thumb print. It isn't a legal document but it's awfully nice to have.
I feel much brighter today. The prospect of going home is getting me so excited. I was awfully woozy while I was trying to write that first letter. But I've been feeling so much better. I get stronger every day (Gee I hope I will fit my clothes) The doctor says I can hang my feet over the side of the bed tomorrow and I can go home Tuesday.
I thought I would trace the right footprint for you. She weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz when she was born and was 19 inches long and nice and chubby, and she's still a little fatty.
Her eyes are really dark blue and her hair line is like yours honey.
I know it's hard to be a daddy by remote control, but I can feel that your with us every minute sweetheart. Besides your heart honey, I do have a real live bit of you here with me and I'm going to take the best possible care of her. That's a promise darling.
Gee honey, I've missed your letters for the past few days. I hope they start coming soon.
Very soon I will have the loan of my baby for a few minutes. Then I'll get ready for visiting hours. Honestly it's just one thing after another. I've been getting so worn out during the day that I really sleep at nights now.
I love you darling and I love Lynn specially for you too.
Always your loving wife,
Leona
