Darling Johnnie,

Thank you very much for two letters which arrived this morning. This M.R.U. certainly seems to be a better place and more suited to your needs. It would be grand if the electrical treatment hastens on the cure. I am looking forward eagerly to hearing tomorrow whether you can come home on Friday. I have asked Miss McLeod to sit in the house on Saturday evening and have written for tickets for the concert. If you do come home on Friday and feel up to it on Saturday, we could look in on the Chalfont Fair after all.

I have managed to buy the things you asked for down in the village this morning. I got quite a nice little satchel which may do for Frances's school days when you have finished with it. It cost 9/6.

Great excitement over the election results. Mr. Wallace came hurrying round after the 1 o'c news telling me that the Tories have lost 81 seats up till then. It's really quite thrilling.

You probably won't get this letter before leaving for home, so I will stop and get on with the spring cleaning.

All my love dear.
Ursula
P.T.O.

There is a parade at Little Chalfont, near the station, where you can hire a car. Name Munn & Chapman. [underlined] Phone Little Chalfont [/underlined] 2310.

The man in the village here is Holmes Phone Chalfont St G. 112

Just in case you couldn't let me know when you're coming you might be able to get a car for yourself.
