"Paley"
Cranbrook
June 15th 1919
My own darling boy.
It seems such a long time since you started off on your motor. I hope you reached Maidstone safely. I left directly you had gone, it was only 9 oclock then, so you had plenty of time, didn't you sweetheart. Bubbles dear, we had such a lovely time on Monday, today seems so dreary. Sorry I is such a lonesome little girlie, sweetheart, but I loves you so much, darling boy. I want to be with you always. My own dear lovely boy. It is also nice at your home, sweetheart. I wished I could stay this morning. It was all serene when I reached home. I am so glad I stayed with you, sweetheart mine. I hope you will forgive girlie for ?cooking paper? (using it I mean to write to Bubbles). I hope to buy some soon. Come back safely, darling boy. I hope to be up early on Saturday. Bubbles, isn't it a long time before then? Em is off to Cranbrook this evening, so I think I shall go as well. Then I post this and buy some paper. Bubbles, who burnt girlies new frock?!!- what a dark deed!!! My face is burnt so much there is actually a blister on it. It was the sun on it again this morning. Harry said, ?I say your face is burnt!!!
I hope you are not feeling tired, darling boy. I expect we shall tomorrow morning, don't you. Go to bed early, Harry dear old boy or you will make yourself too tired come up then bubbles would not be allowed to come to Eastbourne!
Say ?mark motor? to me on Saturday, also ?Bunny mouth?; ? Bessie today?. Sweetheart, how early do you get off on Wednesday? I wish we could run up to Matfield one Wednesday before the lovely flowers disappear, could you take me from your home on your motor. I would love to go, sweetheart.
I hope to post some butter on Wednesday. It is too soft today!! Henry took some on his motor last week. My word. That was butter when he reached home!!
Tommy bought a lot of flowers at the market, geraniums at one shilling each (a plant)!!!
I wish I could see you today, dear old boy, you seem so far away, and girlie longs to be with you. You are such a dear kind sweetheart. The dearest and best of all. Won't it be lovely, Bubbles, when we are together for always. I am so proud of my dear Bubbles, and girlie will be worse when she is Bubbles new little girlie, but Bubbles little blue eyed girlie is naughty sometimes, ever so naughty. But bubbles forgives her because he knows she is really sad afterwards, don't oo Bubbles dear. Girlie is so ?fed up? here sometimes. It is lonely, sweetheart. The same old work day after day and seldom see anyone unless I go up the street, and now the roads are so hot and dusty girlie gets so tired. I found some pebbles in my pocket this morning I guess I know who put them there. They are being stored up for Saturday! Shall we go to church on Sunday morning sweetheart?
I had some brown suede shoes bubbles, sent from Maidstone. I wonder if you will like them. I wish you could see them before I decide about keeping them. I like them ever so much. Sweetheart, you did write girlie such a dear letter last week, I wonder if one will find its way into the letterbox this week! Well, Harry old boy I wish you were here. The old separator is on the way so I suppose I must ring off. How lovely to leave all that behind when Bubbles swoops down and runs off with girlie. She will be so glad, and no tears then, really bubbles.
I know I owe you some more money sweetheart. You paid lots of coppers and when we had our drink in the afternoon, sweetheart. I will pay you on Saturday dear old boy. Take care of yourself won't you Harry
Em has been putting up weeds in the boiling sun. I feel more inclined to print plant some!
I have some bulbs for you, sweetheart. Please ask on Saturday or i shall forget.
I will write to you again on Wednesday, darling boy. I wish you were coming home. Take care of yourself precious boy, and go to bed early not 11.30 Bubbles. Because girlie can never sleep till Bubbles is in bed. I shall miss your kisses tonight, my own lovely boy.
Must close now, darling sweetheart. See you soon Bubbles dear. With heaps and heaps of precious and kisses.
Your own loving girlie
Fluffy
If you have time hurry Cornells up with my watch, will you sweetheart. Mother expected me till 11 oclock last night! They did laugh at her. |
