and the kiss was 'on the way' when you

would stop dead and say 'listen'. Then if

it was a false alarm - all proceeded

favorably or rather the order went forth

"Carry on." Well we shall do as soon as

you arrive back. Hurrah! I wouldn't

mind if Peter and yourself might change

places. I should rejoice but we'll see.

we shall come through alright laddie

shan't we? The price of newspapers is an

absolute scandal. Thanks ever so much

for your letter when I missed reading

the end Frank made a grab and said

I wasn't a sport not to show him the

end. But you must pay him out.


Now, my own, this is all the news

and heaps of love for you - I never thought

I could like you as I do now - that was

when first I knew you. But it grows every

day + I ought to put love - "like" is too cold.

I'm living every day for the telegram to say

that you have arrived in England.

It will be glorious - then there will be some

'à la Whitbys". From your loving wife

Muriel
