  left side

  Kenneth Daddy often gathers

  sticks for the fire out here. It 

  is not a very difficult job

  where all the houses have been

  blown into little bits. Fancy

  him rolling up that wire - it 

  must have been very amusing.

  Ta Darling for telling me

  such a lot about Kenneth's

  doings - pity he cannot write 

  & tell me all about his 

  Mommy.

    Glad to hear that Mother is
  

  keeping pretty well. Give her my

  love & tell her to look after

  herself well.

    Well Darling I want you to 
  

  be happy & comfortable & to

  please yourself but I really 

  think you are better at home 

  & with Maud & John instead

  of at Grantham & if the Balls

  want to stay for some time I should

  right side

  let them. Even if you do go

  back you must go away for

  several holidays. Kenneth would

  love some days by the seaside

  when the weather is warm enough.

    Yes Lassie the weeks are
  

  long that's why I want you 

  to have a good time so that

  the time will pass the more 

  quickly, till I join you again.

    People may say you are 
  

  lucky but what do they know.

  I know you are brave & plucky

  to keep smiling but I should

  be miserable if I thought

  you were not having as good

  a time as possible. Let my

  whiskers grow - yes when it is

  impossible to shave. You would 

  have laughed to have seen us

  all the morning we got here. It

  was four or five days I think since

  any of us had had either a wash
