for a week and it is the longest I have spent for months. You have no idea how much I miss my dear old husband. I have no one to pet me and call me his pussy. It is impossible to be happy without my dear Donald beside I could be happy anywhere with you. I trust the time is not far distant if we are spared that we need not be parted again. I have been busy putting up the curtains tonight. They look very well. I did something today which you will perhaps scold me for. You remember the curtain bands you bought for me, they were only sufficient for one window and I found I could not manage with bands for the other windows so I got three tie pairs from Wilkinson. They will be 12/6. I did not like getting them without your leave but I found I could not do without them. I must conclude for tonight love for my candle will scarcely see to go to bed and everybody is asleep and I do not wish to disturb them getting another.
