Dorothy Baker to Spennettas 3/1940

St. Pat’s Day


Dearest folks:
Well I’m all settled and we just love our new home. It’s so pleasant and easy to keep nice. I have a darling kitchen. Built in ironing board, lots of cupboard space, nice congoleum, and well it’s awfully nice.  There are two faucets - the living room is on the back of the house ( there is a pretty back yard tho.) and there’s only one bedroom. There are two porches we can use for bedrooms tho in the summer time.


Gee!  That’s a mess (meaning her drawing). Anyway there are two grand closets. One is so big I have our clothes and the chest of drawers in it. The other has the girls clothes and most of their toys in it. There is a little porch with a closet at the end of the living room and I have their table and chair and doll bed out there. I think we’ll put their bed out there next summer. They sleep together now. Sharon’s crib fell all to pieces.


The girls are both fine now. I don’t know what to think about Sharon. She had a high fever and was sick a week, but never broke out at all. The Dr. says she might have had them anyway. Bobbie is still awfully weak and gets cross and tired fast. I took them out riding last Thursday and today they went out to play. She’ll go to school Monday.


Miriam Duppeer was here about a month ago. She was in the country with her aunt. She came up to see us. She’s just exactly the same.


Mrs. Hitch was here 3 weeks ago and said she went over to Coronado to see you and found you had moved. She was quite disappointed. They gave her the wrong address in San Diego. she looked so nice.


If Cowan ever stops in at the store I’ll get Sprague’s address from him.


I don’t care what kind of drindal you get Bobbie. Just use your own judgment. i think the one piece would wear better, but if the others are prettier get one of them.


Mama leaves for Hawaii today doesn’t she? That is surely grand. I meant to send her a card but the date slipped up on me. I sent your letter to Miriam and asked her to send a telegram. She’ll have a wonderful time.

I had a letter from Miriam yesterday saying they are leaving
