Darling Kay, 
Fortune smiled upon me this
morn. your welcome screed of the 9th greeting
me when I came in to lunch. First I must
congratulate you upon your cheeriness and good
health which made a very auspicious opening
to the letter and good tidings in that respect
put me on the right leg for the day. Youve been
a very exemplary girl these last few months
and its a source of much glee to your admiring
hubby that he drew a winner in the
matrimonial stakes. If you don't have a good
trot from now until July, apart from the
inevitable discomforts, then I reckon the game
stinks because you've done everything that could
be asked of you and it would not be favoritism
merely common justice. 
Thanks a lot my sweet for
your various parcels which will be gladly
received. You're so good to me and you have
so many calls on your slender purse but I
shan't lecture you. I know you know what you
are doing. I hope they arrive at my next
destination as it will be a terrific job to find
a space for anything else the way I'm find
now and it has been my experience that a

2/ 
parcel thanks thrills you much more when
you're away from the teeming millions. I shall
do my utmost to send the cake tin back to
you but that will depend on the conditions
prevailing at the time. Too right, your one page
letter was a shock from such a copious
correspondent but I know how it is sometimes, 
thought is chaotic and the words just won't
come. Never let that worry you, precious,
just exert yourself within the bounds of reason. 
Your welfare means more to me than any 
quantity of letters could so whatever you feel 
capable of suits me. What a lovely sight 
little junior's togs must be, it must be an 
imposing array now and I feel positively 
cheated not being there to stand at your 
side and forget the tiny little things; 
mentally planning moves for the three of us. 
It's good to know you've got practically all 
arrangements tied up and have not unduly 
fatigued yourself in the process. I hope my 
parcel has reached you by now and the 
drought has been alleviated, glad I chanced 
upon your favorite brand. It was sweet to 
be able to do you a good turn, my love 
but don't go handing them around as they are 
just for you from Master Micky.

3/ 
Will you tell Ada, time is very pressing just
now but will drop her a note as soon as 
possible. As a matter of fact I have about 
six letters to reply to but the leisure to reply 
to them is mighty hard to come by. Will 
be paying my last visit to your former landlords 
on my next visit and will miss their cheery 
hospitality no end. As you truly say, the sooner 
the game starts, the soonest will come the day 
when I am on the train southbound, it would 
be marvellous if it was for the last time. 
My next visit will be epoch making for us 
alright, you and Richard will give me the thrill 
of a lifetime on the day I hope he decides to 
be a good lad and sleep soundly on the first 
night. I reckon you and I are entitled to have 
that for ourselves after all that time parted 
even to the exclusion of the young master. 
I have a notion it will be as heavenly as 
we dream and its always good to have 
something to look forward to as I shall every 
day. I'm glad the memories of the times we 
made had so deeply in love recur to you 
so vividly. For my part, I really discovered 
you on those days when we stole away on our 
own and drank deeply of the emotions you 
stirred up within me so beautifully.

4/ 
I'm not surprised you feel possessive towards
me, you should be; and your kind of possessive- 
ness is not hard to bear, far from it, I
never dreamed a woman could reduce me to
such a state of helplessness by such gentle means.
The caresses you lavished upon me linger
still and may God hasten the day when
it will be my joy to surrender myself utterly
to the rhapsody that rings in my ears when
you make love to me. Your affection had
a lot of elemental passion in it and what
is more natural than that you should feel
possessive to one who belongs to you. You
would not be the darling sweetheart you are
if you felt any other way about me. The
wilting appealing type of girl appal me.
Your sort who know what they want and
go after it are the type I respect and
admire, you know where you stand with them.
You're neither an enigma or a safe, lady
fair, you're my idial anyhow. So on that
happy note I say cheerio for another
day and I do love you as much as I've 
been trying to convey in this letter and I
plant a lingering kiss just on that billowy 
vale between your breasts where often I lay my
weary head. Bless you, fiddlikins Micky

Darling
A very hurried note for a reason you can
guess but am glad to get a minute to
tell you again I love you and send you
my fondest regards. Dunno when the chance
to write the next will occur but in the
meantime stand by and carry on as usual.
Your letters, pipe and cleaners arrived today.
How sweet of you my treasure, I hope I can
get something away to you for the 2nd if I
fail take the thought for the deed as
I can't thank you sufficiently for an
unequalled year. Hang on about pyjamas
until you hear from me first
Damn have to dash
now but will write you a longer one
soon, darling. Mighty pleased you and
Richard are so swell. Keep it up 
sweet. Every scrap of love to you 
wrapped in a kiss. 
Always yours 
Micky
