My pr Still very hustled
but might get off a scrap
in answer to 2 nice letters
So glad you had a restful time
tho' the children seem rather
to dominate the household
hope your weekend is
even more enjoyable. Please give my very
best Salaams to the Gen &
Mrs Powell. Tell him the
Div has done well & may
I hope do equally so in the hour
of the great test. I am not quite happy
about things. There is a bit
gulf between the Staff & outreach
which I cannot bridge. Yes it is
difficult. 2 The M P leaders - all I have
time for now are a great
source of pleasure to me. I do
so absolutely agree with it all
One can read the honest man
in every word of them. I like the attached from
Mary & am glad that I wrote
a more amiable letter last time
which crossed his & am glad
he should also have known my
feelings openly. Considering how
busy he is it is wonderful Unless you have sent the
pass book do not now send
it as I shall be too busy
next week to attend to anything
Please manage all this
business yourself. There
will be the usual calls of
£70 every quarter Anniversary 3 and another of £240 spread
over 3 months £80 each
in addition but as a good
deal comes in in July you
ought to be all right tho'
August is nearly a blank month &
early Sept.
Went with GOC to a
big parade with next division
which I had to arrange. Gen
quite pleased. I wasn't! I
attended & in spite
of being the only officer below
rank of Col dared to raise
my voice ( ratherly angrily
too!)
Corps Commander Sir T
Moorland gave us his blessing
in a nice little speech
After next week I may find 4 it difficult to get letters for
3 or 4 days at a time &
may be too busy to write.
We also have started
saving daylight thanks be
but I don't see any chance
of going to bed in daylight yet.
A very happy time to
my p r . She is rather like
Fanny who begins neighing
miles away from Mountjoy
who also shouts long before
they sight each other.
They are certainly great
pals but I never thought
Fanny cared a hang for
him. A Budy but your bw W B Spender
