p.

me on the 5th & again on the 11th, from which you deducted
that I had had a whale of a leave with Frank. Now,
sweetheart, you must take everything into account. First
of all, the dates of my #30 on Martins bank sheet
mean nothing at all, except to date on which my
cheque at Barclays arrives in Bradford, having come by
sea mail. So that the +#16 is a false figure & should
be less. As things were, the first #30 was drawn by me
on Aug 15th, the second one on Sept 27th - & then the
next one after that on Jan 19th. So instead of #60 in
6 days, it is really #60 in 5 months - & actually larger
than that, as on Aug 15th, I was #12 overdrawn.
Allowance again, not to exceed #15 per month, & in
actual fact, it will probably be #10.
And darling, on the bank sheet, you failed to consider that
Army Pay had not come in, & this together with B.C.&W
pay being #17 down, & the #7 Tanya owed on the P.R.
bill, & #2,3,4 for life insurance (which is money saved)
makes a difference of #77. Or only #7 down, in spite of #60
of mine, having landed in one month.
which makes a deal of difference?
I have worked out how much we should have in the
bank on March 31st, and about when the letter reaches
you. My Jan #30 should have landed by then, & will
certainly last me until after then - & Army pay
+BC&W pay at #-9-9-8 a month - less [underlined]
#25 a month for you, less 2 #8-1-8 & & one #2-3-4
insurance: & add the #7 from Tanya - & I shall
