you again, I know my longing will be as strong as
ever and will not be stilled until you have taken
me to your heart and by giving yourself and taking
me restored my mind and my body to a more
placid frame. But, having gone through what
you have to consummate our love, I know that
a good deal of care will have to be shown and 
our sexual relations conducted on a controlled
basis. It certainly would not be wise for you to have
another child for quite a while as I've seen the effect
of too frequent pregnancies in normal times and there
must be no possibility of that in your case as the
position would be harmful to you and in the
extreme and I always want to cherish you not
ruin you. So right now we must determine to
be discreet as we have been to date and things
will work out satisfactorily. When you have leisure
to do so, you had better have a talk with your
doctor on the subject and enlarge your knowledge
on the whole subject. I must confess my ignorance
about a good many points concerning cycles and so on,
so I feel we should possess full knowledge so
that we can regulate our habits and desires to a
well balanced level without needing recourse to
a fear filled celibacy. Having regard to our ages
and the ups and downs that have beset our married
career, our systems will demand more than

4/

would have been the case. We therefore must not
try to thwart our purpose and remain dissatisfied
with our lot yet a proper curb must be put upon
our desires so that nothing but happiness and
contentment will prevail. We are both average folk
in that respect and have a certain amount of brains,
so all will turn out happily I'm sure. When
the time is opportune for an airing of our respective
views on such a question, its rotten not to be able
to talk it over together, isnt it?  A lot of the
above sounds like double Dutch to me so I'm
dubious if you will know what I'm actually talking
about. You will need your intuition here.
Well, my precious bundle
that oration has about knocked my inspiration
on the head so I'll get along now. Maybe
this letter will be the last for a while if you
gather the inference. I'm glad it covered a few
pages. If that be so, I'll wish you every
possible good thing and oh my, how I love
you, curlythatch. Never fear I wont be far 
away from you, youll never to be able to prise
yourself free from me wherever I am.
Save up the million kisses I
send you and return with interest later
Micky

Darling
Just a line or two to tell
you that I'm keeping well and
hope this finds you as well
as you were in your letters of
22nd &24th April. Very pleased
my recent screeds have reached
you O.K and trust it wont be
long before this is delivered.
I hope it won't be long before I
can send you a much better
effort than this but you know
how it is sometimes. It was
with mixed feelings that I read
your report of your visit to the
quack but, as long as you
are  progressing favorably, thats
the main concern and I

suppose the other will work 
out properly. Your present 
frame of mind is a credit to
you, pet and I reckon all will
be well with you consequently.
I was'm sorry that the second
looks like falling by without
a telegram from me arriving
but all the same I hope
that day is a happy one for
you as it will be for me. 
It was a stirring feat and
in spite of the ups and downs,
the best I've ever known.
May the next one be spent
in under more favorable
circumstances. All my love
pet  Micky

Darling Kay,
Mighty pleased the 
opportunity to send you a cheerio 
and a swag of love comes
around again with the hope that
it gets to you promptly. Yours 
of the 4th & 7th have come to
hand as welcome as the flowers
in May and it is ? extra
good to know you are faring 
well and not permitting other
worries interfere with the success
of your big mission. I'm sorry,
I wont be able to reply very
fully to your letters yet awhile but
you know how it is, I was so
glad that letter of mine of 30th
Apr got to you, far quicker than

I had been led to believe. The
news about Fran is marvellous
and for Sheila's sake I feel
terribly bucked, It was a long
time in coming but sweeter for
all that. Your next letter
will be most interesting for me
as your visit to the quack will
have taken place in the interim
and that will be absorbing news.
Not much longer now, darling
and you'll be full of your pains
and aches and rarin' to go 
for the benefit of his nibs. Keep
up a cascade of prayers that
it wont be long before I see
you both. I don't know which one
of you I will be look forward to

seeing most, both of you will be
such a sight for sore eyes and
that's no exaggeration. It was
a cow not being able to wire you
for the second but it just could
not be managed but even at
this late stage I endorse your
remarks about the glorious year
it was, to take up the reins
with you again will be my spur
and you sure need one at present.
Now heres the hooks go in
theres a few things I need pretty
badly so here's the list for you
to ponder over. Some hankies,
fruit salts, talc-powder to start
with, pet at and a couple of
tins of Figsen tablets. Tins
