My Dearest,

As I noted on the back of my last letter, I received your No IV the day after receiving No V.

I was, of course, very interested in your doings. You certainly seem to be having a rather hard time. I do hope however you are now feeling fit.

This won’t be a very long letter as I’ve just finished your helmet an am anxious to get it off to you. Khaki wool is still sold out, but I hope the color will do. Please let me know if it is satisfactory and whether you would like another one. I made it in about 8 hours, two evening’s ceaseless knitting. I think it should be warm.

Would you like a pullover in the same wool? If so with or without sleeves?

I am so glad Vic is now back with you. I do hope he will keep fit. As I believe I told you previously, Tris is

…coming on Wednesday for the day to look after Jill while I go up to town to do some shopping for Wyn.

I am looking forward to this and get a little “pippy” sometimes. Every day is exactly the same, nothing but work and lonely evenings. I never have anyone to come in with a little present unexpectedly for me now!

Wyn of course is a very cheery person and we get on very well together.

I heard from Dad this morning. He is a temporary Immigration Officer on the Tyneside, but liable to be drafted anywhere. He finds the work very refreshing and interesting but of course the pay is not much. His address is H.E. Taylor-Smith Esq. 48 Loraine Place, Newcastle-on-Tyne. He mentioned he was intending to write to you very shortly.

I will close now darling as I want to get this off to the post.

Take care of yourself and remember you are always in my thoughts.

All my love and very best wishes, lots of kisses from Jill.

Yours,

Terry.

PS. I am glad Mirabelle is better. Jill was interested in the arrival of the calves.
