My Darling,

Thanks a lot for the good wishes. I also had a will from Archie wishing me many happy returns plus a P.C. from Cheadle Hulme.

Very pleased to hear the furniture has turned out so successful & so reasonable. Also glad to hear you have been so busy.

Sorry for the rather hurried note, but I'm on duty tonight.

Just received a parcel from Ma & Pop containing a very nice pair of pyjamas.

Will have to write & thank them also reply to Mother & Dad.

Everything seems to be going fine, I feel really on top of the world, so wish me luck Darling.

Afraid I can't make any arrangements regarding the Riley, but will let you know directly I can fix up something concrete.

All my love Sweetheart & remember, you are still my first & last love.

Yours always

Jim
