I'm sure seeing your lovely face again will be too much for me. Look after yourself, darling, it would be too much to bear if you anything happened to you. These riots in town worry me.

2nd The weather is rainy-looking & in a few minutes I have to prepare for guard.

I'll leave you now, pet - don't forget ours' is real love. Love & tender kisses

Your Alan & fiancé

P.S. The patrol has arrived back from Porebada. The natives had been inquiring of taubada Alain. They told Len Byrne they knew my sinabada's name - they call you Nan.
