Kay Darling,

Thanks awfully for your nice letter. I am glad I'm in favour – leaving that little note.

Yes, darling, I think Mac really enjoyed himself, we managed a short game of tennis yesterday, but am afraid my racket grip is U/S, will have to take it into town & have a new binding of leather on it.

Poor old Ian has been very quiet lately he goes to bed directly he can, he's really trying to go ease [sic] & save money, he stills [sic] owes me the same amount, but as he's really trying to get square I don't feel so bad about it.

Have the Pay accounts going for me over income tax so have refered [sic] them to Tommy, will you please confirm the address – Messrs Taft, Baldock & Winstanley, St Peters Walk, Nottingham. Thanks dear.

Has Freda replied to your

Did I mention that we should be having leave about the 14 of next month?

Afraid I haven't any more news, everything under control. 'Yes,' dearest

All my love

Yours always

Jim
