probably still have #10 in the bank here - & the
result is +#230. Now, because tax had been
coming off Army pay it is now coming off B.C.&W pay,
& so I do not see how it can be more than
another #130 (though, I admit, I am quite lost about
it). And, our financial position should then be as follows:
In the Bank #100.
Defence Bonds #240.
R.C.& W. shares #65.
Ocean Accident &
Guarantee insurance #218. paid since Dec 35
Canada Life insurance #90 paid since 1932
Total # 713.
So that looks better, doesn't it, darling? Let me give you these
rules of advice, for when you look at the bank check. 1. Don't
forget to take into account what has still to come in &
what has still to be paid. 2. Don't be misled by my #30,
& their dates, & remember when I draw #30 I have then got
that much to my credit in the bank, & it will
probably last 3 months. If ever I do have an expensive
leave or such like, I shall certainly tell you. 3. Remember
that insurance is money saved, & so in a way, is
income tax deducted at source.
And now I must go to bed. Goodnight, my sweetest
lovely darling. XXX
