My dearest Ronnie,
Just a line in haste to tell you I love you Still, and I am agog at the thought of you being home at this time next week.
Molly Foulds is here for tea, so I’ve just asked her to excuse me a minute.
I would have written earlier today but this morning was spent in making Christmas puddings with Mum, and this afternoon I had only time to dust the Club and dress before Molly came.
Our engagement looks very nice in the paper, but I wont send you one, as I know your Mother will.
Mrs Eardly, Mrs Broughton and Ogden have all phoned me. Mrs Ogden wants us to go down and see them. Michael is getting nine day’s leave, and they are going to London for Christmas.
Molly and I are now going to Cowling with James who has to go to a case. It’s just by way of a change. There is nothing good on at the flicks – so we’ll be in for the evening. Marj and James are going to a dance, and maybe Moué.
Please excuse this darling. I promise you a good letter tomorrow.
All my love Sweetheart,
Kay.
P.S. Couldn’t you possibly go to a dance if you wore a cotton shirt and silk socks?
