Dearest,
I didn’t intend to write to you tonight, but it suddenly struck me that if I sent you the shirt & socks that need mending, I could enclose my sweet ration.
It’s not that I think you’re short, but it’s such a pleasure to give you something, especially as I’m away from you, that I thought [deleted] you [/deleted] I’d send it with my love.
I had quite a nice time at the Wyvers’ last night, & luckily didn’t get wet.
Hope you are well.
All my love, darling,
Harold.
