[The beginning of this letter appears to be missing.]
&lies.
I had a hunt for Joe Kirby but didn't get him. Poor Joe, I can't help liking him, faults & all. I suppose you are home at Tog by ages ago, hope you had a nice welcome & the weather decent & garden gorgeous. I also trust you did not get Stella's cold.
I simply longed to be home too, just to get you & have a real long talk & cheer & brace you up, because I felt you weren't A1. Perhaps I'm wrong, but you sounded bored & restless.
One of my pals went away sick yesterday much to my grief, results of gas. Still he'll be out of things for a little while & may chance a trip to Blighty.
I had a very charming letter from Miss Arn today, they're all very excited as the Colonel is on his way home. They are very charming & so jolly kind to me.
My brother is in Palestine. I wonder if I have told you all this before.
How is your romance, you simply haven't mentioned it for ages.
