In May 1927 she wrote to him:

This is my favorite hospital and everybody is very brisk and sterilized and kind and nice. But they are always sticking thermometers into you or turning lights on you or instructing you in occupational therapy (rug-making—there’s a fascinating pursuit!) and you don’t get a chance to gather any news for letter-writing.

Of course, if I thought you would listen, I could tell you about the cunning little tot of four who ran up and down the corridor all day long; and I think, from the way he sounded, he had his little horse-shoes on. Some well-wisher had given him a set of keys to play with, and he jingled them as he ran, and just as he came to my door, the manly little fellow would drop them. And when I got so I knew when to expect the crash, he’d fool me and run by two and even three times without letting them go. Well, they took him up and operated on his shoulder, and they don’t think he will ever be able to use his right arm again. So that will stop that God damn nonsense.
