SO I'M WISHING YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON YOUR ENTRY FOR SUNDAY! Many happy returns--love Addie

Thank you, daughter no. 1. I got a lovely birthday note from my dad, which reads, regarding my first days: "We worried a bit when we found the water in the diaper pail under your crib frozen but decided it would make you hardy. I also panicked when it appeared that your nose would fall off, but the dermatologist on a kind emergency consult told us it was an erythema annulare reaction to a black fly bite. New one on me at that time. I was only an intern. " And so the family history of child neglect is passed on.
