An update from a couple weeks after the previous letter. I\u2019m glad to learn that my favorite “word” at age four weeks was “oy.”<\/p>\r\n

Hello\u2014<\/p>\r\n
Sorry I couldn\u2019t write for so long\u2014waited to hear from you & then came down with a breast infection\u2014it wasn\u2019t really serious, just a warning that I\u2019d better stop running around & start getting more sleep, & for emphasis it kept me in bed with an intermittent fever for about 2 \u00bd days\u2014it was really nice\u2014I couldn\u2019t do anything\u2014Peter cooked & took care of Jed & cleaned up, and one of the mothers from the school came & did the laundry (which Peter has been doing) & all I had to do was nurse & sleep\u2014which I did. Such luxury\u2014never again, they tell me. Even with a second baby, there\u2019s then the first one to think about.<\/p>\r\n
So on that particular issue of Rampart: it was the only one we had around, & we wanted you to see the magazine.<\/p>\r\n
How did McCarthy do in the Phila primary? We generally get a newspaper every few days & sometimes miss things\u2014we are registered in the Peace & Freedom Party & have to change our registration to vote for him in the Calif. democratic primary, but we keep forgetting. Why import students from Connecticut? Can\u2019t Philadelphia supply its own political workers?<\/p>\r\n
Have to go\u2014Jed is crying & I want to get this in today\u2019s mail\u2014will write more soon\u2014best to Aunt Stelle & others\u2014<\/p>\r\n
All is well & happy & nourished<\/p>\r\n
Yes<\/u>, he talks\u2014amazingly accurate responses to things\u2014favorite word is “oy!” with “mmooommmm” a close second\u2014also “ah!” (these are not cries<\/u> but voice-sounds. often very funny)\u2014but now he\u2019s really complaining\u2014<\/p>\r\n
Love from Peter & Jed &<\/p>\r\n
