Letter No. 97 Sunday, Feb 8th
Major J. H. Massey
6, Palestinian Corp, The Buffs
M.E.F.
My darling sweet Barbara -
I do hope that you are not
having any more of those frightful lapses in my
letters. In any case, you know that the fault is not mine,
- perhaps that helps a little bit. Your no. 74 of Dec 7th
came today, & was awfully unhappy, because you had had no
letter for 4-5 weeks, & you had just had an AG to tell you
there was no news, which merely exasperated you. But
darling, I'm sure you understood that it was only a case
of no news since the last AG - both of which had
been written weeks after all the letters which you should
have had, but had not. Today, I promptly composed a
long cable which would have cost about 10f, & then
realised in time that I had had about 8 AGs pcs
from you, written since Dec 7th, & telling me all
the things which you wanted to know, & so my cable
would only be wasted. I tore it up.
But I shall probably write another one tomorrow, to clear
up a few points. Your birthday cable arrived yesterday, & thank you
very much my sweetheart. It was lovely to have it. But you
were still in suspense about my posting home. My AGs
surely must have arrived by now, but I will make sure to
cable tomorrow. Darling one, if & when I do get posted
home, & in any case when I come home - I shall
want you to know about it as soon as ever possible;
& I shall be wanting to meet you at the earliest
possible moment after I set foot on English soil.
And so, I shall be very efficient & leave no stone
unturned to ensure these things. I shall write you
an Air Mail letter, or Air Mail letter card.
