<salute>My dearest Muddie,</salute> 
<p>I thought the boy was a little limp
<lb/> this morning which I expect was really
<lb/> perhaps the result of his first sitting up
<lb/> yesterday. However he cheered up in
<lb/> the afternoon &amp; was most exuberant
<lb/> this evening. He is getting awfully rampant
<lb/> but I was glad that the sister firmly
<lb/> vetoed his being up longer, for I am
<lb/> sure though he does feel it at
<lb/> the moment that he is better not allowed
<lb/> to do all he wants to &amp; I think
<lb/> he has rather the upper hand
<lb/> of Nurse Bow (if that's how she spells
<lb/> her name!). He is frightfully <sic>agrieved</sic>
<lb/> at tapioca pudding for luncheon but
<lb/> had a very nice dinner, soup, fish &amp;
<lb/> queen pudding, much enjoyed. We had a
<lb/> turn of power patience in the afternoon
<lb/> varied by a dissertation on numerals &amp;
<lb/> numerical systems, <sic>Abyssinnian</sic>  methods
<lb/> of multiplication, &amp; a <unclear>refrulig</unclear> electrical 
<lb/>problem. I did not see any of the attendants<pb/>
