Dearest,
How terrible the first day of separation is, when I left you Mr Hood stopped his car and Colin hopped out to say how-do - apparently he is in Group 21 and has just been demobilised.
He told me he is bringing Jim ¹ to Harwick later and will only be at home for a day or so this time.
I think he is looking forward to seeing our Colin! Douglas Hood was in the train with me and we had a short chat.
Wyn Plant (nee Collis) has had a son but Bunty Stevenson's was tragic

The child being stillborn and then mother dying just afterwards. The husband was flown from Burmah in 2 days and saw his wife for an hour before the end. There is a 19 month old son.
Mrs Thompson has a slight chill and Mr Thompson hasn't been able to go to school for a week but he is very cheery.
They have asked me to find out what Basil studied for at University so I am writing to him.
There is no news of demob yet but a regular captain is joining our office and Col Payne is arranging for him

to take over from me - so the Colonel is definitely "on my side"
There was no fuss over my leaving early on Saturday 3rd - work has proceeded very smoothly in my absence much to everyone's relief and my satisfaction.
How I long to see you both again I do adore you so.
All my love dearest
Denis.
P.S. Glynn Mills started paying £20 per month into your account in June and debited me from June onwards including July. Will you have a word with the bank?
