So much for that trip.

Thank mum very much for the share ticket. It would be a solution to my problems if it's a winner. The wishes are very much appreciated.

How come your swolen lip? Did something bite you? You must get it down - they're normally painful.

Jeff's papers have arrived. I enjoy reading Smith's write-ups. Theres only five more hours sleep before reville. Three of our boys are in hospital & I'm doing treble duties. Wish me luck. There are a couple of nuisances sharing the dim light - it interupts my train of thought.

Darling if I say cheerio now it's somehow incorrect. I shall as always lie in bed & allow my mind to have its way. Memories are such a consolation & more wonderful than looks or empty entertainment.

Lasting love & lingering kisses.

Your loving fiance'
Alan
