Dear Helene,
    I brought the enclosed snapshots to
the shop with me weeks ago, but we’ve
been frightfully busy so have had no
chance to send them on to you. They were
taken in Norfolk where Doug (my husband)
is stationed with the RAF. None of them
very flattering of me, but they are the
best we have of the children and the one
of Doug alone is very good.
    My dear, I do hope you get your wish
to come to England. Why not save your
pennies and come next summer? Mummy and
Daddy have house in Middlesex and would
be delighted to put you up.
    Megan Welld (secretary to the bosses)
and I are going on a week’s holiday to
Jersey (Channel Islands) in July. Why
don’t you come with us and then you
could economize the rest of the month in
Middlesex?
    Ben Marks is trying to see what I’m
writing so shall have to close.

                            Sincerely,
                            Cecily
