Wed. Oct. 1
Dear Will,
I cannot imagine why you do not send the pen. If there is any reason why you cannot send it I think you might have written to tell me you were not sending it. With the pen I could have had a restful time - more or less - here. Without it I have always to have my mind on the baby. She has had two falls and it certainly hurts me very much that you cannot at least let me hear why you do not send it. We have been here two weeks today + I have had one letter from you. I don’t see how you can care very much if that is all the trouble you take about me when I am not with you.
I hope you have bought yourself some new socks and nighties. I have wondered how you have managed about your laundry since you said you were down to your last shirt. I thought you would arrange to send it to the laundry. Maybe you have done so now.
Margaret went to school this morning + was very pleased to go.
Last night I went to picture show with Mother + Father. It was a pretty thing “Lord + Lady Algy”. If they have it in Cincinnati I think you might enjoy it.
It rained hard here last night + there was a high wind. Are you doing anything about finding a house or have you given it up?
I wrote to your mother on Sunday. I am sending Mrs. Braden’s letter as I promised.
Kathleen is growing fast. She has 8 oz. 6 times a day + is doing well. She still only has 4 teeth, but she is very lively + energetic + is heavy to hold + carry around.
Love from us all
Kathleen

Lord and Lady Algy - here’s what Wikipedia says:
Lord and Lady Algy is a lost 1919 American silent comedy film directed by Harry Beaumont and starring Tom Moore, Naomi Childers, and Frank Leigh. It is based on a play of the same name by R.C. Carton.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Hugo Ballin.
As described in a film magazine, Lord Algy (Moore) is addicted to betting, which causes an estrangement with his wife, Lady Algy (Childers). They part under an informal arrangement, although each continues to admire the other. Lord Algy determines to retrench his fortune by backing a certain horse in a race. Lady Algy, knowing the horse cannot win, makes friends with Jethroe (Stuart) to get a tip on the race, hoping to win enough to recoup her husband's losses. Mrs. Tudway (Ballin), wife of a friend of Lord Algy, plans to run away with another man. Algy learns of the plan and cooperates, allowing the elopers the use of his chambers as a rendezvous, hoping to persuade Mrs. Tudway to stay with her husband. Scandal then connects the names of Lady Algy with Jethroe and of Lord Algy with Mrs. Tudway. Algy's horse loses the race while Lady Algy's wins. Brabazon Tudway (Burress) discovers his wife in Lord Algy's chambers and suspects him of stealing her affections. Lady Algy arrives, grasps the situation at a glance, and diplomatically smooths things over. She tells Lord Algy of her success with the race and they are reunited.
So the husband did everything wrong and the wife did everything right and then forgives her husband. Of course Kathleen liked the movie.

I am sending Mrs. Braden’s letter as I promised.
Here is the letter, from the woman who lived next door when the Five Stokey Siblings were growing up in Canton.
