October 20, 1967

Dear Family,

I have been rather hoping I would hear from some of you before writing you with the news of
the new member of this family. Bob called us Thursday evening and told us that their daughter had been
born at 2:00 P.M. that afternoon. Mart a came home Saturday and called us. Mother talked to her and
has all the details of the new baby. She is quilting at the church now. If she comes back in time I will
write the details in the margin.

David is the only one we have heard from since my last 666 two deckers. He must have a girl
friend again because he only wrote a few lines. I must be, when he is between girls, that he writes such
nice long letters.

The big news here is that day before yesterday Mother played nine holes of golf. I rather held
my breath the next morning to see if she was going to complain of added pain, but it did not seem to
hurt her.

Again I include all of your addresses so that you can send each other a Christmas Card at least.

David,

We received a letter from Marta giving us the complete scoop- here it is

Gwendolyn Rae Wilson born October 12 1967 at 2:05 P.M. weight 7lbs 4 oz. 20” long,
(Marta’s note-“and lovely!”)

The plans are now that, we will go to the Wilsons for Thanksgiving and be there to help bless the
baby on the Dec. Fast Sunday.

Marta says she is doing fine. The way she tells it Bob is treating her like it was the first baby,
flowers, diaper service, pampering and the whole bit. She says the girls have been wonderful and help
her a lot. We are very proud of them.

Vaya con Dios,
