But I have already had your cable to say you were going
to Cambridge + have replied that I was not very pleased
to hear that- + now I have had a p.c. from you to
say you are going to try it there + perhaps go on to
[?] later on. So things are pretty obscure for me
But I am glad you are not in that part time munition
job. It sounded rather hard + very dull + all for 22/6 a week
+ I feel that with doing that + looking after Marie +
writing to me + looking after yourself, it would all have
been a bit too much for you. Are there no creches or
nursery schools in Beaconfield? - surely they would be
the best answer- they look after babies + children so
well + probably far better than any one person with
whom you could leave them It seems to me that
this part time employment is very badly arranged
+ organized- + very underpaid too.
I wish I could write you some encouraging + helpful
advice , instead of appearing to disapprove of all your plans
to occupy your mind + self + to lead a useful life.
But darling - the one thing is that I want you to lead
as happy + contented + normal life as possible. + I
cannot feel that you would be able to do this if you
were away from Marie for 5-6 hours every day. You
have told me how you worry + fret + I can well
understand it- + under such conditions you would
be having this every day. And nobody else can
look after [?] as well as you can- I think
he deserved to be looked after entirely by you
And you were telling me about your poor Ma I
feel very sorry for her, very sorry indeed, but I agree
