LETTER FORM.

9 June 44

My dearest Maz,

I can’t I’m afraid as yet give you an address, so I think if you write me at my old address that would be the best wheeze.  Things are going well here, as that studier of form, the Elli, will be telling you also Boy Howland.  For myself I am fit and well, a trifle tired and rather dirty – if Eileen could see me now she would have a fit!  I do so hope all goes well with you – here, especially at this particular minute, it’s very noisy but not much else – I have thought about you all so much and feel sure that it won’t be long before we all meet again – I still have not received your letter and the ECS sent off just after my 48 hours – my only letter being one from Eileen dated 27 May.  I hope now that your ‘help’ is coming regularly and that you are not to do too much, you must be looking at your best for the champagne dinner we are going to have it – won’t be long now.  – Maz I must close.  So very much love to you all.

            Ever yours very affectionately

                        Peter
