"My Darling—I find when I am with you that I can't say the things that are in my heart, but when these days are over I want you to know as much as I can tell you of what you have given me. I want to tell you very quietly, very simply, so that you will know it is the exact truth."

Nick Griffin noted that this letter was probably written in Buxton, at the Cat and Fiddle, sometime between 20-30 April 1918. BR's pocket diary appears to narrow the dates to 22-24 April 1918.
