exit permit from England - & then if I can get you an
entry permit into Palestine. But darling, I am also
beginning to think about how things would be when
once you were here. In the last place, it would have
been pretty good, & we could have had a small flat or
rooms within only a few minutes of the barracks. I could
have been out every evening until the following morning
& you could have been quite busy during the day -
canteen work & so on & a large town & people to know.

But here, we are in the country, & my next move
can quite easily be the same. If you were to get
rooms in a Jewish colony nearby, you might find it
very dull, even more so than Noss Mayo. And if you
were to live in Tel Aviv, I should find it very difficult
to get in very often. But, I suppose we could go at
the weekends & you would be able to leave
Maxie in good hands & go yourself during the day.

About invasion here, of course one just has no idea
at all - but even if the war were to come
seriously near to here, you & Maxie would be
bundled, unceremoniously, off to S. Africa.

Oh darling sweetheart, it is difficult - I feel that we
must not do any thing rash - & yet, I also feel
that unless we are rash & bold about the whole
affair, we shall never achieve anything. Other people's
advice is of so very little use, if it is critical, because
nobody except you & I understand how much & how
deeply we long to be together - what a ghastly waste
of our lives this separation is - & how miserable
we are away from each other. Unless I can
get myself sent home, I can hardly see how
the war will end & I be sent home before
