to have a long talk with you - you'd tell me all your woes and troubles and I'd give you lots of real good advice (which you wouldn't take) and a real nice lecture (which you would quietly sit and listen to). Then I'd cheer you up and we'd go out and have some tea and go to a Picture Show if funds were really sufficient. I'm doing quite well just now and clearing off a few debts. It's lovely being paid well for doing nothing. I'm getting fat and its worrying me - my tummy isn't quite so rotund as to prevent me seeing my boots yet but I'm afraid. Do you think you could still love me if I were fat - eh?

Before you said you enclosed a photo but it wasn't there - you'd better send it in your next.

You're a real old darling, Dodie, and I just love to hear from you. We used to have some awful nice talks together, didn't we?

I'll let you hear how I get on.

Goodbye dear old girl Yours Peter

Oh by the bye - just after coming to bed - sadly I got shoved in as one of 3 to take command of a division - more manouvers as the other two haven't had very much experience and didn't know a great deal though
