Karine to Bubbs, 11Jul1944
"Bobby is absolutely the best ever. He's just as good and just as patient
as you are, and were, as a baby. I wish he'd start to talk. He says Mamama
and mumbles or jumbles other utterances, but not that we can make out. He
understands though. Tonight Thelma said, "Bobby are you going to kiss Pop &
Mom?" He turned around and walked the length of the dining room, over to the
door to Pop and put up his little face for a smacker, then he came right to me.
Different things we say to him, he seems to understand, but says nothing in
answer."
