My dear Marjorie / Well, one never knows what is store for one, does one. How the wire put me off my stroke, for how to word it I couldn’t think, but there’s no doubt you think a great deal of Bill, as no doubt he does of you, or should do. “I guess he does” & as Dad & I both think you are old enough to know your own mind now & I think it must be Mr Right for you never have really thought of anyone much before, have you? So that we both congratulate you & do hope it will not be so long before a great change will come along, in the way of peace & then what a commotion, eh.
[page break]
I believe you said he comes from Leicester, that is a good way off. We wondered when the wire came if he was to go sooner than you thought. I have written him, but its a bit difficult when you haven’t seen a person, but I generally make myself understood. Did you get the parcel alright I post it on Wednesday. I’ve been in the war’s lately, my nose is about better now, but for a week I’ve had a septic finger & its not too good yet, isn’t it tiresome, although perhaps its better out than in. I don’t think I had better stay for more now, as you may get this in the morning If you do get a chance to come along, do by all means it would be nice to meet & have a chat. Well bye for now, fondest love from Mum & Dad
