I feel awful when the thought flashes through

that you might not come. But they send you

all don't they.


I am reading an excellent book by Gilbert

Parker called "The Seats of the Mighty." It deals

with relations between the French and English before

and after the taking of Quebec. The characters

are well drawn. Tim has just jumped up on

to my knee and is endeavouring to catch a fly so

it is taking me all my time to write this. He is

a little tar. Dash will nearly go mad when he

sees you. I had him this afternoon on the

Spa and if he did not leave me and on his

own went trolling on the fount sniffing at every

one until he found your mother. The first I

knew about it was seeing Julia carrying

him back in her arms.


Well this is a short letter but it is

one of those days when nothing happens.

I am rejoicing every day to think it means

a day nearer re-union. Comrade of my heart

See? Come back soon laddie.

With all my love + an inside

outside a - t.

Your loving wife

Muriel
