off. In the evening I stayed with Kitty. She was
saying that it took nearly an hour for Richard's
head alone to be born. She said she kept
pushing but every time she breathed back he
went again. Women are generally laid on
their side during 'the event'. But Norrie was
born when your mother was on her back.
You were born on a Monday night and at seven
o'clock the doctor left your mother as he said
you couldn't arrive before midnight but
however you pushing little object you came at
9.30 p.m and a midwife of rather doubtful
character had to be brought in, who lived
near. Then Kitty said she thought one day
she was going blind. That was about three
days after baby was born. It was however
only the milk coming into her breasts. She said
the pain was dreadful and one breast nipple
the right one cracked and she could not bear
baby to be near it. Oh! These married women and
their Troubles. I enclose Joy's letter. I did
wish I could have seen her, Of course I shall
get to know all I want to know from her.
It appears Mrs Bellerby (Maud Welsby that was)
