My Darling

Here I am returning to Garsn.4 in the rain as usual — very glad to get out of5 the nightmare of Gladys6 and CEM7 and psychology, which drove me nearly mad. I am sorry it made me so tiresome. Now I shall get back to uninterrupted work and sanity —

My dinner8 was boring — There is a chance of CA9 going to Jersey — if so I may go too — everything is doubtful —

Thank you for the lovely bath — it was a treat.

I do a hope you will soon get work.

I shall hope for a letter from you tomorrow —
