very exceptional, my sweet + darling lovely one.
I must say that I feel better, having written these three
pages to you, but its nearly eleven [?] + I must take
my powder + go to bed. Before I go, I must say that
I am pleased that you now agree that I shall give
up golf. Relaxation + fresh air we must + will have
but it is quite obvious that you do not like golf + never
will do + so that is that. Walking + gardening they
are the things- + please don't scoff darling
because walk + garden I will + we shall do
those things together. And maybe a little tennis
But whatever we do we must be together at the
weekends + in the evenings. I'm sure you agree - but
I do not anticipate - not want - a mere return to the
old life (much as I should love it!) It is quite possible
that I shall continue to dye + [?] + bleach +
wing + beam. But if those, plus our home life, are
our only interests in life, I am misjudging you + me
= + all I am thinking nowadays is just a waste of
time, which I just relapse into pre war complacency
- + you must make up your mind, too.
Goodnight, my own darling xxxx Harry
Wednesday Apr 15th My aches + pains have more or less
gone today, to be replaced by a severe cold in the head
which is pretty stuffy + horrid but much better than going
under with fever.
Your letter told me much about your efforts to finf a new
place to live + somebody to look after [?] during
the time of the day when you would be away.
