ever pleased at waste of material. No doubt Jim

will get a few down his neck, & you must go short.

Elsie has not had her long looked for letters from

Jack yet. Her visit to Cuppy with Don Dabbs could

not take place yesterday - It rained incessant all day.

but they made a start. Met at Hornsey St. Mary's Church

went in to a Wedding, then took a train & ride to Hilfield

& back. Dined off their sandwiches in Mrs. Dobbs eating room

at 1 oclock, spent the afternoon in chatting & rag-

bag saving. & when Dad & I went round about 8pm

we found them playing "Donkey"

Wes decided not to come for Easter. so we have

been alone today - and we have his visit to look

forward to. I am enclosing the 10/- note you asked for.

Glad you had a little change at Weybridge. May be

its as well to take little pleasures as you go along the

road of life. We only Jan along nice and its as

well to have some pleasant memories to look back

over. Hope you get a little rest on Monday but

with so much movement of the troops at present I expect

they will find you something to do. Frank is back

in bed with another cold. Must write Wes now & its

9.30 & back
