Darling Johnnie,
Thank you for your letter of Monday evening. I’m glad you had a reasonable journey home. Nothing much to report this end. I am confining myself strictly to house & garden, so as to keep the £3 intact for the bank!! I’m going to dig some potatoes this afternoon and do other gardening jobs. Don’t you think it would be nice if we had spring-flowering bulbs growing along under the hedge on the far side of the lawn?
There are such a lot of things I want to do this autumn & changes we could make in the garden][deleted]ing[/deleted], that I’m going to get ahead with the duller jobs so that we can tackle the others together.
Lots of love to you my dearest one, the weekend will soon be here now. We’ll meet you at Amersham unless you specify anything different.
Always yours,
[underlined] Ursula [/underlined]
