Letter from Dorothy Daggett Wild to the Mattson family in 1956, shortly after the birth of Monica
Tuesday, November 20
Dear Mel, Joyce, Janice, Lori & Monica -
Your announcement to Susan came yesterday. It is very evident that you expected and wanted a boy but I'm sure you will love this little one just the same. She was a good sized baby and I think tha name is lovely. It is out of the ordinary run of names, goes very nicely with Mattson too. I've always meant to ask if I could make you anything. I have a couple blankets Susan served and I'll send them very soon. Also one of those terry cloth sets I got for Christmas. Would you use or want any little short kimonos? I will make some if you say so. Just let me know.
From the weather forecast, we are missing another storm. So many last year went south of us though we surely had more snow than we could manage. A warm day now would take all we've got. The telephone poles are set by here but no telling how long before the wire is strung and all ready.
I want to let you know that we want to send baby dolls to the girls. Knowing Janice, she will want to do what you do with Monica so they will be dolls that can wet. It might be better if you say they are from Santa Claus just so Bob and Jane's little ones don't think we're cheating them. Just wanted to let you know to ease your mind about dolls for them. They will come direct from Daytons. We hope to have a card fairly often. Love, Mother
