only seem to have whipcord.
Your last two letters have been lovely, my darling, & I have loved
them. I have just re-read them now, & it has taken me 1/2 an
hour. The only thing was that the first was very happy &
pleased with things - & the next, which I received first, started
off very unhappy & miserable - but cheered up the next day, when
the snow had gone & the sun had come, & you had another
of my letters. I hate to think of you being so up & down,
sweetheart - but I suppose it is inevitable, & I am very much
the same myself. But I have been much more up the
last few weeks, with letters from you & plenty of work
to do. And I am delighted that you like your rooms at
Eileen's - but I don't expect there is much point in me
saying a great deal about them - as you will have
departed, by the time you have this. But the great thing is
that during the last few weeks of having the baby you will
be in a pleasant place of more or less your own, & no people
to get on your nerves.
You told me that your love for me would never alter, & you
asked me not to forget that. And you said - so long as you
had confidence in me coming back to you, feeling the same
twoards you & the baby. Dearest darling, it is lovely & wonderful
of you to say that your love for me will never alter - & i
never will foget. Lucky & blessed am I to be the one you
say that to & I cannot think what I have done to deserve
this, except to have loved you very much & very deply, &
to still do that. You can have absolute confidence, my
own darling, that your love will always be treasured
& valued & returned. I have toldyouso much, & so often
in my letters, haven't I? how I feel about you. And
