6. I do feel sorry for your mother, darling. Give her my love, please, tell her I often think of her & how kind she has always been to me - & how much I appreciate all her love & care of you. It is a shame that she should suffer so. I hope she will be much better by now. It will be a wonderful interest for her to have you & Peggy & the babies to look after. But she must not work too hard. What a bitch Betty must have been to her - it is difficult to understand. I was suprised to hear you suddenly begin to write about Marjorie Rangecroft. I hope that Rex has pulledhimself together by now. I told you he was being pretty hopeless - Frank & I both used to tell him & nag him about writing & spending less money. I'm afraid he is a very weak character. However I saw in General Orders last week that he is now a Major & D.A.A.Q.M.C (Deputy Assistant Adjudant & Quartermaster General) in the Sudan - & so that should qwell their finances a bit of a fillup. I'm sure you will have the baby with you when you receive this letter. You must forgive my letters, darling - but it is difficult to write time after time about this lovely thing, which is still weeks ahead. I will send you cables when the time comes nearer - & I will be thinking of you & writing & hoping for you, all the time. And when I know what it is & that you are both fine & well, I will be adoring & loving & thinking about you both. All the love in the world darling sweetheart - & every bit of me. Always, forever & more & more Your own loving Harry xxxxxx
