a Socialist state, your work & mine willbe of
sufficient importance to allow us to employ a maid,
or companion, or comrade or whatever it may be
called. But we will deal with the situation in
one way or another, & I promise you all support.

Sweetheart on p.2 I say I love you too, darling. And
as I was writing that, it reminded me so strongly,
& it does again now - of when we made love in
bed before going to sleep. Often, I used to say, I
love you, darling - & you always used to answer
wtih your sweet voice - I love you too, darling.
Do you remember my Barbara? It used to make me
so happy - & then very often, when I had let go of
you, & was lying on my side & you were curled
up round my bottom, & I had one hand pushed
over backwards & tucked in between your legs,
we would say the same things again - & then
I felt happier still - & we would slide off into
sleep. Oh darling. Those days are waiting for us again,
& will be ours, if only the fates will work & bring us
together again. I was thinking about you this afternoon
so very passionately & longingly - & looking at your
photographs. I nearly went off pop, as you call it.
I promised myself that you will love me when I come
home - I am still very strong & healthy really &
just aching for you my own darling. I have
forgotten Maxie in this letter - but love & big kiss to
the dear little man. And all my dearest love to my darling wife xxxxx H.
