Adored, I've been thinking of you all evening and I'm sure you have been thinking of me.  25 Years ago today - how I can picture the whole scene again - on the stairs and in Esther's sitting room - she was away getting the supper!  Soon it will be THE day and it is a shame we can't be together.  There is still just a slender hope as I hear we are going to Goa and not Lourenco Marques and I might be able to fly from India.  But I fear it won't come true.  But I really hope and believe that we'll be together for Christmas.

I am very tired tonight so I won't write more but just sit, play patience and think of you.  Our allowance came in yesterday and I've been busy paying out today - 14,310 Yen.

So Goodnight Loved One.    AIAW.   BB.
