Tuesday<\/p>\n

Jess dear,<\/p>\n

I was very glad to receive a letter from you yesterday… the first for four days. There seems to have been another mail hold-up somewhere, but it will no doubt be only temporary.<\/p>\n

I only hope that you are now receiving my letters without the former long delays. Unfortunately, I cannot write daily under all conditions, but there should never be a gap of more than a day or two.<\/p>\n

I have been wondering whether you have yet had your excursion to M\/c (Manchester)<\/em>. What a stranger you will be to the place! It will be a nice change for you my dear… and I hope you make the most of it… But in spite of your confidence in Phyl (Jess’s cousin Phyllis)<\/em>, I imagine that you will be nervous about leaving the nipper… and probably glad to get back to him-!<\/p>\n

Once again I have no news for you. I am quite well… and doing very little at present.<\/p>\n

I hope to write you more fully later in the day.<\/p>\n

Au revoir, my dear.<\/p>\n

Yours always,<\/p>\n

Trevy<\/p>\n
