Letter from Harry Massey to Barbara Massey

Peover Wednesday

Dearest darling

I am relieved, delighted & thrilled that you are coming up to Liverpool on Friday & going to stay here for a few days. It has seemed ages since you went away & I have felt a longing to be with you, all the time.

I'm glad you wrote to Kathleen, as she wanted to know as soon as possible whether we were coming or not. I expect I shall get into L'pool about 8-30 to 9-0, so if you & K will go & have a meal at the Crocodile, I will

come along.

It was a good thing I rang up last night because your letter has not arrived today. The post is very unreliable.

I enclose one reduced [fore?] railway voucher - which I have partly filled in. They were in some doubt as to whether you could travel third class on it, but I am pretty sure you can. In the unlikely event of them refusing to issue a third class ticket you will probably find that 1st class on this voucher is about the same as 3rd class ordinary.

I must now stop - get this

posted - I do not trust the post to get to you tomorrow - & we have a red top coming to give an early lecture.

Oh, for Friday

Love & kisses, darling

Harry
