Letter No. 8 Wednesday - April 22nd. Major J. H. Massey.
6. Palestinian Coy. The Bluffs.
m. E. F.

My darling dearest Barbara,
My last letter to you told you I was not
feeling at my best, since I posted that I have spent two
days in bed. I am now feeling much better & taking things
easy as it were. The M.O. is quite useless. I wonder have
I told you about him before--he is R.A.F.; name of
Hardy; & comes from Bradford, which explains much.
I think I have had a small dose of flu, but I doubt if
the doctor thinks any thing at all. Any way, that is what I
am treating myself for. I have now got a bottle
of tonic out of him, I lay in bed for breakfast, &
I can fully order my own meals through Chamaziki,
who has turned out to be rather a good nurse. I
expect to be 100% in 3-4 days again.
I have been lucky, & had 2 pes from you this week, &
your letters 86-7.
Your letters make me roll & groan with anguish, my
darling, because you are so unhappy & unsettled, & because
I want so much from the bottom of my heart, to
be with you & Max. wherever you are now, or
when this reaches you, Cambridge or Caeruarvan or
wherever it is, I do hope you will like it more.
You must please try & feel settled, my darling, it
is so bad for you to be continually worried &
unhappy. Now that I know you have Max & that
he is fine as well, I hope that things re not
as bad as you make out. and that you are having
