My darling sweetheart.

It is ten minutes past eleven. Therefore no
time to begin a letter. But I have been busy all day
until a late dinner at 9.0. I do want to hear the news
at 11-45. Libya has started again. & last night gave the
news of our 1000 bombers over Cologne. & so I am anxiously
watching events again. And when I arrived back at 9-0, I
found your no. 90 waiting for me. & I have read that
twice already. & also no. 91 again. which came in a week
ago. Your no. 90 enclosed w snaps of Maxie & I was so
pleased to have them. I ticked you off in my last letter for
not sending me enough photos. & I have had results
within 3 days, which is good going. But these were quite
unexpected, because I have had no warning about them in
your pcs. I think Max looks marvellous & lovely, darling.
the ones with the Tibbles & sitting in his pram especially,
& the squashed face finger in mouth ones in his high chair
are quite good too. He is so like Lisa, darling, particularly in
the one with the Tibbles. And he is so wonderfully fat &
plump, all over, amrs & legs & everywhere. You are a
wonderful mother, my darling. & your milk must be perfect.
Your letter came this evening - at midday I was
disappointed with an A.G. from my ma - & which was
rather what I expected. I'm afraid. i.e. she had not
heard from me for ages. Fortunately, I have been
much better since she wrote that. & I am now
sending a regular service of A.G's, & so you should
not be embarrassed any more. She still talks
