My Dearest Wife,
I got down all right at 1.18P.M. I have written about the Bretforton house and have also looked at a small one about a mile off, this afternoon, it is a nice little place in some respects but it is not certain yet if we could have it and I fear we should have to sacrifice a lot of our furniture if we took it but we can talk over all this on Wednesday.
I have been to a registry office and they have written to a girl they know of to see you, I think she lives at Winchcomb.
I hope my little wife that you are pretty cheerful and I know you will keep up your spirits for my sake.
And now it is nearly dinner time so good bye my darling, with fond love
I am ever
Your affectionate Husband
