Kay Darling,
Many thanks for yours received yesterday.
Firstly I believe our leave is all set for the 13th; that should fit in well, yes?
I clean forgot about Ivor's Surname being Wilson, if I'd been you I should have taken it out of the envelope.
Yes dear, tonight, Ian likes his new position very much, it's far more suitable, in any case it's better really as he is such a big type for the [indecipherable word].
The injection is just the usual, one every six months.
The trip question I don't count, so there are no jitters on the 13th or the final one, I think it's a better idea
PLEASE WRITE ON BOTH SIDE

not to know.
Tell Pop the wireless is still going strong, he wouldn't [deleted word] [indecipherable word] it. Must have a sleep now, Ian has just dropped off & I expect Charlie back in a few moments.
Good bye Sweetheart will soon be seeing you. Can't you get a few days off? Maybe it would be possible if you gave them sufficient warning!
All my love
Yours always
