My darling Ronald,
A mere scrape of the pen just to show you that I still adore you – even if you don’t adore me. Which of course, is complete bunk because I know you do.
I haven’t had the expected letter today, and am a trifle worried, and all of a gogg to have your news. Anyway, it’s sure to arrive tomorrow.
I have still a good deal to do before this dance. I haven’t ironed my frock yet, and it is now quarter past seven. Still, I don’t suppose we’ll be going till about nine. Well, I can’t say I’m very thrilled. Still, one must do one’s duty.
Katie has arrived back today – looking as miserable as sin, so she will have it all to go through again.
Dr Huxom has arrived and Marj tells me he has come in a very delapidated Baby Austin of ancient vintage! He has to get out and turn to start it.
I am wearing my pale blue frock tonight, which I don’t suppose you will remember. I have altered it slightly and it is now planer than ever. I should look pure and sweet. I wish you were here to revel in my charm; but would you revel in it? Still, there wont be a bar. And now I’m sure that you would because with me, if it wasn’t for the fact that you are never really cross with me. Darling I love you, and miss you so very very much.
Beloved do pardon this mouldy note. I must away.
All my love,
Yours aye,
Kay.
P.S. This is a poor scrap.
I love you
