Description:‘I think I had not when you were here got quite into the domestic & dog situation, for tho’ we now have 6 dogs in the house instead of 2, there seems much less fatigue in the routine. Topsy’s puppies were born on the morning after you left & yesterday evening Mrs Ferdinands brought them along. They are said to be healthy & sertainly look a fine little set & as Topsy has herself apparently settled down peacefully with them in her new nest in the little room we call Helga’s, I feel very reassured. The Professor has declared he will take the burden of their care on himself, which certainly spares me much. I fall readily into the role of “basking up[?].” Meantime Jet is alternately angelic & impish. Jin[?]-lo’ & Young-ren[?] [I call her?] but she is not an Albino. I can’t say I think very highly of the 3 names given to Topsy’s puppies, but I respect the intention which lay behind the choice. I hope at any rate they will all arrive[?] & do[?] ought[?] to you.’
