My dear Murray,
I think I told you that I was going to the cottage for a week with Dorothy Beard. Well we had a beautiful week there, I mean to write you an airgraph while there, but had no ink except in my fountain pen, so had to leave it till now. I had one bed to renovate, & bought a new one. One day we had a grand day took lunch & walked almost to P. Point round the beach, as far as permitted, walked & bathed, & lunched. Strange to say although we walked miles were not at all tired. One afternoon we had tea with the bride & Keith joined in for a few minutes, the P.O. is so busy now, it is a constant job, he & Edie only had the weekend, being married on 4th he has fixed up one of the cottages, & it is very comfortable, 4 rooms, we had some good fish, but it is very expensive & brought some home. Gallenhalgh[?] has made a splendid job of reconditioning the stove, & the tank is full, with care it will last out especially if we have a few January showers[?] as we usually do. Today some people want in for 5 weeks, I expect before this you have had notice of the cash that I sent to you. While home[?] your birthday parcel & a first letter arrived. Helen posted on the letter but kept they parcel, & then 2 a/g came, which she pasted on, & was I delighted my dear. My house coat is gorgeous, & I love it. Thank you so much darling, it is perfect. Then the other parcel came, but I have not opened it. Will keep it until Xmas morning I am sure I shall love it & thank you for that alos. I hope you get this in time for Xmas, as I should have wished you a happy Xmas in my last one but you know that we shall all be thinking of you on Xmas day, & wishing that you were here with us all. As you say perhaps next one you may be, here's to hopng anyway. What joy and excitement there will be then darling. Cont.

I am so glad that you are receiving the papers & even if late there would be lots in them to interest you dear, so I hope you continue to collect them, I have put a Strand[?] in one packet, it has some good reading in it, but there will also be bits in the papers to annoy you. There seems to be such muddling going on all the time, & silly petty arguments about that which could easily be passed over or shelved. The powers that be seems to be [illegible] , but as always I suppose in the end everything will work out in our favour but what loss & sacrifice there is & will be before that time comes, heaps of it unnecessary, & should have been avoided. What a little
