User-Contributed Transcription you made on the phone Thursday night! - 'Would I come to see you if you didn't get a baby' - I think you must really know that I couldn't even be interested in the baby if it weren't yours.
But all this aside - if you're getting along on schedule + your doctor has some idea when you'll be leaving - could you let me know, have Ben or the folks wire me or drop me a line. You see Noldi would like to come if he can get a couple of days off + generally it takes several days to get the permission. However one thing I would like to make absolutely clear it is not necessary for us to stay in hyack. we can stay in town + come our to see you. I'm not just "saying" this. I mean it because I know that with a new baby, a new nurse + a new cook. There'll be plenty for you to arrange + manage without having extra people in the house.
I do hope that my apparent anxiety Friday didn't bother Ben too much at a time when he must have been sufficiently anxious himself. I surprised myself - as I'm sure I must have him, by feeling awfully "maiden auntish". But it is over now. And I hope the [[?]] lessons (for the little one) don't start too soon?
Best love from both of us to you, Ben , + the baby. As ever, M[[?]]
