Letter from Harry Massey to Barbara Massey
p.
parcel specifically as such - except perhaps my photographs which I hope will arrive not too long afterwards. Did I tell you I had not sent them Air mail after all? - they wanted 1st. instead of 10 1/2d sea mail & registered. And then the slippers etc may arrive about the right time. As I told you in my cable - I am going up to Haifa to stay with the Hopkins. which will be quite good, but will I expect, make me most foully homesick & sad & even more full of longing for you. I havent sent Maxie any presents yet. I think it is about time I did something about it.
Do have a happy time my sweetest heart & pull some crackers & think of me & give Maxie some big kisses. You know I will be thinking of you & loving you & pining for you with every ounce of my strength. Next year we shall be together. All my love forever & ever. Your Hary. XXXX

[top left corner missing] Larne & we got 6-20 on this
to find this place is right on the border of the Free State. I is quite pretty, & is really a small holiday place. There are any amount of pubs, which open at 10:00 a.m. & remain open all day. There is a Cinema - & there is the loch & also an open air pool to bathe in. And there is a Golf Club. So providing nothing happens we should be alright here.
I am just about falling to sleep now - so I will stop & write again at the week end.
Goodbye sweetest heart
All my love, kisses to you -
Harry.
