Cheers I have had another letter No 20 of 25/10/42 - I have 4,5,6 and 8 and now 20! I had just sent off my p.c. but with the aid of Bill Faid, our voluntary censor, I managed to recover it and put in a new one. It was so nice to see the children's writing again but I am worried about you - you seem a bit depressed. I hope my letter turned up fairly soon and also the smuggled one but I'm sure you realised I couldn't help it. Perhaps it would have been better to have given St Ninians as the one permanent address - then of course there wouldn't have been all the delay. I'm sorry Darling.
Very tiring weather - we are all just blobs of grease! But Cheerio! B.B.
Later. Letter No 15 has just come - 2 in one day - great. I heard about Joy's holiday at Nethybridge with the Batchelors and Ian's agricultural camp with its lavatorial drawbacks - he should be here with our N.T.W.C. - I'm expert now and think it is much the better way! Goodnight L.L. A.M.L. B.
