1 April 1 My pr 2 very fat sleek nice letters. What a
lucky b w. I suppose it's all right about baccy if
Douglas says so but honestly I don't think
your funds ought to go to that Rather alarmed at your account of the
blizzard. You musn't let my economies
be too strict please.I have looked at the
pass book & growled at Mother Hubbards like a real
black wolf, but on the whole it was a congenial
animal who thinks the p r very good. He was a little disappointed not to be able to do 2 something for the pr's 1000 but hope to do so
in another 2 monthwhen further divs come in
rather well. Could you find me a retired pay
form anywhere so that I may sign it for the
past 3 month if not ask Cox to send you a
few when you return the passbook. I'm afraid I am very doubtful about
the wisdom of a suburb for you. I really think
the train journey the rush to the station, the
waiting for train will prove very much more
tiring than living in town. Shopping would
be a business. I don't want to be a coldwater
cart but honestly I am very doubtful, & you
might find it very difficult to see the family. No 3 really I think your flat is best tho' you may
possibly find another close by which would do. If the other COs don't write to you about PW I
should send out a pc to each with the reply
Dear Madam I do
I do not wish you — &———
& ask them to send it back. Ross Smyth not Rinus
Smyth who is Bde Major. The former is the
orangest of the oranges. B'Gen' Parker who commanded the 5thLancers at the Curragh is was here & I never
knew it was he. I called to see him this
afternoon when he was out. Such a pity. I think the RE Companies etc would
probably be able to notify you of their wounded
but I believe a request from the Duchess that
they should send PCs to you would be put in orders 4 by most COs but unfortunately they will never
remember the addresses.if wounded so it isn't much
good. Sorry about Mrs Hugh. Glad I don't think
as she does. In the next life you & I will be much
more of a unit than we now are & I am content
with that. I am so glad you & Lady C still get on
so well but mind NEVER hint at our wanting
Sir Es help, & now of course you will see less &
less of her if he really takes up work as you think. Hope to send back pass book tomorrow Ever yourb w WBSpender
