Conger Reynolds correspondence, January 1918

1918-01-26 Daphne Reynolds to Conger Reynolds Page 2

on hand tall enough to reflect anything above your scratchy chin. I think if we can ever afford it, we'd better have one whole side of your room done in mirrors -- full length, to the ceiling, so that you can see to putting your hat on straight without danger of tying yourself into a knot. 
Dearest, I hope I'm not putting any thing in my letters that will not pass. They are personal as can be; certainly your scratchy chin can interest no one but me. And I want you to get this letter because this is the 25th -- our Anniversary!! I suggested the propriety of a celebration this morning but my suggestion was coldly received. I shall take your pictures off in a corner some where and growl at anyone who tries to even come near me. I don't believe I have "barked" for ages, but I still retain my awe inspiring dog-voice. 
I am trying to keep my diary, as perscribed in my Memory Book, but there is nothing of interest to put in it. Ever since I came back from Washington it has seemed like one long deaf mutes' picnic. Today for the first time we have really promising signs of spring. All the snow has gone except in the very shadiest places, and I had my studio windows open all day. It sounds like old times to hear the titmouse sing.
