Letter from Harry Massey to Barbara Massey

6.

you & ever since I left you. But all else must wait until I see you.

Oh darling - isn't it wonderful.

God knows what will happen to me when I arrive, but I do not think they can send me out of England again. And more immediately I expect I shall get 2-3 weeks leave to begin with, & you must think about where we can go. What can you think of darling? - & can you make tentative arrangements. I think we just want each other & Maxie & peace & quiet, & the opportunity to make love, & to talk. I shall not be able to stop doing either.

As soon as I arrive, I shall telephone Cambridge or Joan's & failing any result the Plaza Hotel & then Hughes as arranged before.

I must post this. All news when I see you. I do wish the journey did not take so long. Darling Barbara soon we shall be happy & remain happy for the rest of our lives. But I shall probably swoon when I see you. Oh my darling I am counting the days. xxxxxx All love - Harry.
