My Darlingheart,

It's now 4.15, I have just finished reading such a wonderful letter — yours of Thursday Thank you my sweetheart. You say that receiving a letter puts you into the right mood for writing & yours has done just that. I want to talk to you. Most of all I want to tell you that I love you & that I'm missing you so very much 'loved, that I think you are the most wonderful & most precious sweetheart anyone ever had. Oh darling you are so dear, precious to me & — well, I just love you & love you with every little bit of me.

You were a darling to make a special trip back to town on Thursday to get my book. Now I am set & can do a bit of study. I probably wont get too serious over it, but it will be an occupation for my spare time & will be

of very real benefit to me. I often feel so inadequate when I put words to gather^[?] . I have my own ideas as to how they should go but I have very little idea why. I'm very glad I've taken it up.

This of course is a little back to front to be replying now to Thursday's letter when I've already replied to Fridays. This one gives me a much better idea of your own outlook as regards the car as it was mostly written before it broke down. You poor old kid, Jean certainly did take the matter out of your hands by arranging about the cottage & then practically telling you she was keeping the car. That's what it amounted to. Your quite right about being whistled^[?]  up when you can serve a purpose & it is poor sweetheart. I had my share of being general carrier & taxi to the family & now they're at you. Oh well, if common decency doesn't make them chop it out now we'll just have to tell them to hold off. I feel most disgusted that Jean should have done that — one could hardly call it fair even if they'd returned Austin in good order.

Don't you worry about it {{?|for and leave}, 'loved, I have no

doubt that a bit of work will put it right. I supposed Melrose is already on the job & will fix it for you. The suggestion is too late this time of course but I wonder if you'd think of asking Anderton Hall to do any jobs. It's just an idea, & if you're not keen on it forget it, but I think he knows Austins pretty well.

I was pretty right when I said the book would cost as much to post as to buy, but its well spent.

I'm so glad Donald got the job — congratulate him for me will you. It's nice to see some people get what they want & he together ever if we can't for a while. Our turn will come sweetheart & oh it will be so good.

Thanks for your comment on my handwriting, perhaps you're biased but I liked it just the same. As long as it tells you the most delicious things, that's all I want from it. I jsut try to tel l you what is in my heart, 'loved I like to think that you know what goes on there. It's yours you know.

Don Beaton & his wife will be thrilled. They're right now, he's done two tours, but then he hasn't had over found
