Darling,
Just a line enclosing the shoe permit. Please ask Russell to collect my shoes from Ridlers.
Raymond was here last evening and we had a long pow-wow together. Of course he asked after you both.
Girlie and Daphne got safely to Parkstone and today Girlie will be going to the pre-natal clinic and then they may establish when the infant is to arrive. They seem ti be in some doubt, December 8th or 25th.
Ray turned up in civvies, the ones he just got from the demob depot. The suit and shoes were good, the shirt fair and the tie lousy. Roll on the day when I put mine on. He had a suit of dark grey with a light stripe.
Girlie heard from David about three weeks ago but there was no real news to pass on, a usual David letter and no idea when he is coming back.
I’ve been throwing my weight about today and have interviewed four people today for absenteeism. They are all sorry and will try and do better—we hope!
About the business, sorry I was laying down the law, just you folks do what you like, whatever is easiest for you. Don’t get het up about things, jus jog along comfortably. I’ve only got about five months to do. You know I’m looking forward to getting down to work again.
You father says he’d love to help you straighten the garden up, he says nothing would suit him better.
I shall be with Stephen to meet Evie on Saturday. I hope you have enjoyed their stay.
I love you my darling, take great cate of yourself and Anthony and I’m still your very own silly,
Johnnie xxxx
