Monday -- [June 1949]
[From HH]Dear Folks,
The letter came this morning and from the enclosures assume that you have gotten the diploma by now. That will be the father's day and birthday present for this year. Making no promises about next week. -- HA. [Bar Exam?] At least I'm a law school graduate.
I got home last night about 9:30. Betsy [the car] ran just like a new car. Stopped briefly at the SOHIO station in Steubenville and saw Bill's [Horton] brother Leonard there.
Ate the last of the cherries yesterday, and the apple yesterday afternoon. It was a nice evening for driving.
Glad to hear that the roller [or rubber?] case came out OK. If you will look in the Ohio Bar, which you should have gotten, either Saturday or today, on the front cover under "Court of Appeals" you may see the case listed.
Catherine has certainly "filled out" in the last two weeks since I've been here. She has plenty of room in her big bed.
[From Jean]
Harold has taken over the feeding of Catherine while I add a note. Mother has had him busy transplanting flowers, etc. so no doubt he'll be glad to get back to Columbus for some uninterrupted studying.
Calvin's "Reporter" came to Columbus -- so he (Harold) saw his notice of graduation in there.
We had a nice visit in Pittsburgh arriving home last Thursday -- while there, we attended two operettas -- "Song of Norway" and "The Chocolate Soldier" -- both very good. The weather was so warm that Catherine wore her sunsuit most of the time.
Yesterday -- another scorcher we decided to go to see the Hinermans in the afternoon. You no doubt remember them as Sarah was at the Rehearsal Dinner & helped out so much before the wedding.
Mother has been becoming so devoted to Catherine I'm afraid she won't let her move to New Vienna. She says you have two babies and she should keep Catherine. She (Mother) has gotten so much enjoyment from her. You'd almost think Catherine was her first grandchild.
Catherine raises her head so high now when you put her on her stomach. Mother says she's going to become another "Meddlesome Matty" -- (that was my first nickname). While we were in Pittsburgh. Catherine & Mary Ellen took turns sleeping in the junior bed. She really outgrew her basket & could only sleep in it -- after she had gone to sleep in the jr. bed first. I expected to see her crawl out of the bassinet every morning.
We gave her the cradle gym and she seemed to enjoy it. She had to taste it before she thoroughly approved of it though.
Harold says Marianne has grown so much since he last saw her. I just hounded him with questions about her & the rest of the family.
We've told the Independent office about sending the paper but I hope you won't be bothered with postage for it any longer.
The little pink silk rubber panties which you gave Catherine are really grand and she has gotten so much wear out of the. The others are very nice too and I wore them on her nearly every day and save the others for special occasions. She has played & played wth the little yellow lamb. Older children seem to love it too for they squeeze it & play with it to get her interested.
Many, many, more happy birthday's Mother Uible.
Love, Jean, Harold
and Catherine
