Stoughton, Mass. 27 Aug. 1928.

Dear Sid:

My mother is tending the infant now, after her feeding, as happily as any grandmother.  We got home at 10 Daylight Time in time for the 9 o'clock Standard Time feeding, without more than 10 minutes squalling all night & morning.  She slept like a trooper, as I knew she would to the jiggle of the train, and was only fretful at the short wait at Providence for the 7 o'clock train, immediately going to sleep as the train started.  And she slept after I got to Sharon till she reached Walnut St when her mouth opened for a wide yell, and my mother tho she claimed she didn't hear Ralph's car roll into the yard, heard the yelling.  She howled pretty continuously then till 1 o'clock and has slept since. I guess she is all right. I have been drinking the well dry and think I have more to give her.  I am in hopes to have shortly anyhow.  I gave her an oz at 9 and at 1, but she didn't exhaust me at 3, so I haven't given her any.

My suitcase I didn't have to carry at all.  A porter at Providence carried it into the train which was already made up, and the conductor got it out at Sharon and almost lifted me & the baby out in the bargain.

I hope you had a good nights rest & are going to have all this week.  Your mother is looking very well.  She came with Ralph to the station to meet me, and didn't require any loudspeaker, even Ralph remarked on it!
