My Dear Kath,
I feel ashamed for
not having written congratulating
you before this.
Kath I was very thrilled
when I heard the good news, & 
to know that you were well. 
I couldn't thank your Aunt 
enough for letting me know, 
it was very nice of her.
I have been ringing the 
hospital each day to see how 
you both are progressing.
I am sure they must know

2/
my voice by now. On Friday I 
made enquiries as to when I 
might be able to see you, & the 
nurse or Sister who ever it was 
answered, said after seven days.
I dont think that I will be 
able to come out any night during 
the week, so will come on Sunday 
afternoon. So please dont think 
that I have forgotten you old dear
Kath I would have given 
any thing to have seen the 
expression on Mickie (Daddy) 
face, when he heard the news
I dare say there has been a 
bit of celebrating going on.
Every one in the dept was

3/
very pleased to hear of the news 
& to know that both were well.
I am afraid I will have to 
bring this note to a close now, 
for there are a few people wondering 
about for away of a change.
Will give you all the news 
when I see you. Cherrio for 
the present Mummy.
Love to you both
Your old pal
Doris

Darling Kay,
Hullo darling
mine, and I hope you &
the little man are in good 
shape as I am at present
unfortunately I am still
resident in this benighted
spot but still hopeful, if very
impatient of an early 
departure. Nothing further
to report since my last screed
but apparently you can't hurry
these high officials damn
them. So, for the time being,
I suppose I must contain
myself but tis a strain,
I can tell you.
