My dearest B.H. (Still)
I must just write – it seems ages since I saw you, I am simply so happy I don’t know what to do. It is a gorgeous state of mind. I hope you enjoyed Mr Pim. Isn’t it nice? Service went off quite well. G was v good. We could hear Auntie Bess and Uncle Clem wondering who he was. I won the BP’s heart over the phone this morning.
Peggy rang up ce matin – Kitty 1st, Peggy 2nd, B J Welsh and David 3rds poor darlings. They were v fed up. I wish it had been P and not R. It has been rather a trying time but now everyone has gone, and perhaps we shall have a chance to get alone. We had a heavenly evening y’day – I’ve never been so happy.
G and I have just been out on a little errand and he is at the moment helping Babs to lay the table! He had ripping letters from Mr Sladden and from Cyril and Mela which he showed me, and I have just had an awfully nice one from Mela. Oh how I love everybody!
It really has been such a strain this afternoon that I am feeling quite withered, also my eyes are a bit dickey still. The service went off well I think – they got a collection of £58 odd and cleared off all debt. Isn’t that splendid?
I do hope I shall see you tomorrow. I must talk to [?] about it. Ma is feeling so distracted that I really daren’t suggest asking 4 to come! But I do want to see you, and I do want to see Kath and I do want to see G. However we must see what can be done. I don’t want Jack to be left.
Betty darling, I really can’t ever be thankful enough to you for helping so very greatly to bring this joy to us – you know that, don’t you? As G said to me just now, the only thing to do is get you married, only the trouble is that he doesn’t know anyone good enough!
Well, the poor darling is getting fearfully restive and wanting me to finish – I daren’t go on any longer.
Good-bye darling – God bless you.
Tons and tons and tons of love.
Peg
