[underlined] No 17. [/underlined] Lido Monday April 27. [inserted] You needn’t bother about Persil, Ba managed to get me some. [/inserted]
My darling Johnnie,
I am sending some very superior drawing-pins which Barbara had for photographic use in the darkroom. The idea of the handles is that it makes them easier to find – and, I hope, less easy to lose.
I am hoping I may get a letter by this afternoon’s post from you. It seems a long time since I had one, and altho’ I take it that you are safe on terra firma just
[page break]
now, still I love to get your letters.
Frances has been very obstreperous today, refusing to sleep in her pram either before or after lunch, so I had to put her in the darkened nursery & she’s had a nap, tho’ I hear wakeful sounds now. This glorious sunny & windy weather is enough to keep anyone awake. Ba has a day off tomorrow, one a fortnight. Last night I turned out & reorganised the kitchen store cupboard I didn’t finish till 10.30 pm still it was worth it & I think you’d approve of it now. Let’s hope its still tidy when you come! All my love Ursula.
