Conger Reynolds correspondence, April-December 1919

1919-12-31 Daphne Reynolds to John Reynolds Page 2

nausea will be over one of these days.  I don't suppose I'm as badly off as lots of women are in pregnancy and Jinks!  I'm glad to take all the discomforts for the sake of what they mean.  But I don't want to have my baby here!  I do want to be in America so much.  I do need another woman's company -- and not the kind I get here, either.  I hate Paris in most respects and I don't love the French.  After all, they aren't my own people. 
It's quite out of the question for me to travel.  I'd know that without a Dr. telling me.  It's all I can do to navigate on dry land, and that has to be done on my two feet.  I can't go on the car, subway or bus, because they jiggle so.  Dr. Turner says at six months I can risk it but not to go unless absolutely necessary.  I want to go home, but what if I'd lose the baby that way?
