  any one else. Well we have been happy

  laddie haven't we? And my companion

  is my all. There never has been anyone

  else - Auntie + Kate were nonentities - 

  I couldn't have told them thoughts that

  I've expressed to you. Mustn't Kitty + Dick

  have missed heaps of happiness by not

  having perfect confidence. Well as I've said

  before if every girl or woman had had

  such a husband as mine, heaven would

  be nearer earth.

  
  

  Now I am going to meet Winnie Carr

  and Amy Suggitt. I hate the Spa at night.

  I did not mind you know when we went

  to read or even walk because you made it

  all different. Everywhere became grand when

  you were there. I suppose Kitty if she read this

  letter would think I was belittling myself to

  write such sentences to mere man. But I'm not

  there to love him so I'll show him as

  much as I can on paper and I am not

  ashamed. See? My own. I'll pull that moustache

  if it is still there.

  
  

  Goodnight my own and I hope you will soon

  be in England D. V...(V being a roman numeral 5) With all my love.

  Your loving wife Muriel.
