My Dearest Kath,

Sorry on a P.C. But the Hotel has run out of paper.

Here we are Darling over 230 miles in a day and am feeling rather tired.

Opened 2 new a/cs today, one in Bishop Stortford I have never been to the place before jolly nice little town.

It was super to see you up again Dear you looked topping yesterday, and I felt I loved you more than ever – if such a thing is possible.

If ever you think I fizz around you to [sic] much please darling tell me then I will close in my hard hearted shell again, because really I have shown my feelings towards you more than I ever have to anybody

[page break]

else, you believe me, don't you dear.

If ever I found you playing me up, still thats looking on the nasty side of things.

You love me, my sweetheart don't you, that all that matters.

Be a good girl and never be worried what other people say or think, just do as you think fit, they dont pay for ones bread & butter, in other words that is what personality consists of.

Good night Kathleen, I love you, more than you will ever understand.

Yours always,
(I hope I shall always be able to say that)

Buns

X.
