real selves to each other.


By the way a zeppelin was brought down

by one of our airman. It was at Enful's

near to where Mrs Boddy's brother lives.

It was like a burning house falling down

and it was most fortunate that it fell

into a field and did no damage. The

crew all perished. Two jumped from the Zep

but were of course killed by the fall and the others

were burnt to death. Poor fellows - they are

someones relations - It would be an awful

death


Yes, to return to your letter I should think

you will be weak but I hope you will be

a long time recovering when you return. Funny

wish isn't it - but I do want you here. Trying to

make up for past sins are you? Laddie

you've none to make up for - all men

ought to have as clean records as you and

then they would be a grand sex. See! That's

my opinion of you. And it never alters. I'm the

one who has to improve to get up to you.

 

A new kitt. Well I never! And do get

a heckle. I shall laugh when I see you
