15.6.44<\/p>\n

Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

Jess dear, Many of us have had a very easy day… having done nothing all day, apart from listening to a lecture for about an hour this morning. it has been quite warm and sunny and I have spent most of my time reading… apart from queuing up for meals and the Naafi. I have become a very patient “queue-er-up” lately… from necessity, not choice.<\/p>\n

The confinement ban is again relaxed this evening, and I intend going for a stroll… and a change of scenery. I don’t think there is any more I can tell you just now. Maybe I will find something to talk about during the evening.<\/p>\n

Later.<\/strong> We have just received a huge mail, and there were three letters for me… two of yours, and one from Garsden (a work colleague)<\/em>. You can imagine how delighted I was to see your letters:… G’s. doesn’t really matter! And now I have plenty to talk about, but I will have to defer this until later because I have arranged to go out for an hour or so. Be back as soon as poss…<\/p>\n

Later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Dorothy’s recent letter, she mentioned K,s new acquaintance, but gave few details. Your reference to this subject was therefore no surprise, All the same, I thank you for the details. like you, I am glad she has found someone to interest her and keep her mind off Bob… but I cannot make up my mind whether such an association would be a good thing for her if it became more serious. Perhaps she is just trying to be decent to a lonely soul… I hardly know what to think… but if she is now happier, I suppose that is what really matters.<\/p>\n

I presume the boys are now with you… and I imagine you are already trying to ‘organise’ them. Heaven help them if they upset B… but I don’t think they will dare to risk the consequences… do you?<\/p>\n

I was immensely tickled by your account of the bush by the door. Really Jess! A woman of your age!!! But why speak of age? Some people know how to be perpetually young… and why not you? Anyhow, I hope you will continue crawling around the place on hands and knees: it is good practice for the future!<\/p>\n

It is now almost too dark to write… and we have no lighting here, so I must leave you. But I will be writing again tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Good night, my dear
\nYours always,
\nTrevy.<\/p>\n
