1 18/6/16 My darling I got two lovely letters from
you yesterday - all your letters
are delightful and I love you
consulting me about things You
must not think that it bothers
me a bit it only makes me
feel that we are nearer together
& writing every day juse just
as one talks makes things
much nicer. Now I must
try and answer your questions
in turn. You were quite right
to get Morrison to make up the
books for you - It is all the
better really for him to have
an idea as it will make it
easier for him to make up
income tax returns another 2 time. I agree with you he
is quite discreet and as I
said before it would'ntunusually-spelled text
matter really if he was not
though of course one would
rather he was discreet. In the
future I would still make
him do the work. It is much better.
As to the UV7 fund I think
£20 would do very well.
We can always give more later
on if necessary & I have not
given anything locally. If a
Regt subscription should be got
up I would not go beyond a
fiver anyhow & I don't think
it is likely at present. As to the house at the Sheep Shed
unless you actually have to put
a man into it I would not spend any money on it anyway
till I have seen it. Of course
I would keep the roof good
otherwise I wd not put it in
living order. It is not a very
suitable place for anyone
except perhaps a herd or trapper
& it can always be done if you
have a man for it. Once you do
it, it has to be kept up & it is
very likely to get out of repair
unless occupied. About the I suppose
you mean the big house at the
top of the hill not the cottage
where Cargo lived. I would not do anything to the
cottage but the big house if
really bad should be put
in proper repair as to roof
an essential parts. Love 3 wants a lot of watching &
unless watched is dear
though he is a good & fairly
honest workman. Timber
I know is exceptionally dear
now. If you think it should
be done I should send for
Whiteside & get him to go
into the matter make a
specification & estimate &
let Love tender & make
Whiteside pass the work. If
Whiteside thought it would last
without material damage for
another winter I would chance
timber being cheaper next
summer but it would not
pay to let damp in.
Home grown timber would be
no use as we have nothing
sufficiently seasoned
