A wedding invitation

20th July 1937 - Mary to Terrick

The green of course is no good as we're having distemper - but choose two of the other for dining room and living room.

I love you very much.

Mary

Joyce thinks family will give us 2 bedside lamps if we want them - Pray heaven they choose alright!

Darling One,

This evening I only got out of the office at 9.07pm, so I am not frightfully hopeful about tomorrow evening.  Still I will let you know when I see you at Heal's at 2pm.  Tuesday is my worst day and I have finished up quite clear.

This morning I got £5 from Aunt Morley at Eastbourne.  A start!

Of the four papers the only one I don't like much is No. 3.  It is difficult to tell which of the others is best from the small bits, so decide yourself.

Have just had a very nice letter from Eileen with photos of the new garden.  She asks me to say that they are thrilled with your things and is writing to you today because she is sending you some things that she had not quite finished.  By a funny sentence, disguised for the censor, she tells me that she is sending us money for a wedding present.  Philip has a son!  But I will show you the letter tomorrow.

I have bought a gramophone record with the "Internationale" on one side and the Red Flag on the other!  But my gramophone will only play so slowly that they sound like funeral marches.

I find I did not heave my Left Book at Dunally after all.  Have you finished the one you have got?

I love you so much, petootie.  Definitely more than ever now our time of living together is so close.

All my heart & its love,

Terrick

Please bring the list up with you.  Paul wants to see it.  So does Renny in case he can't get a travelling case.

Just a line, darling heart, to tell you I love you.  To let you know that the comparisions I perpetually draw between you and all the millions of women in the streets make London a vulgar, unlovely place; so hurry on tomorrow by thinking about it, and come and meet me a the office at 6.

I have written to Miss Cross this evening.

Renny has been asked to go before the Imperial Airways Selection Board.

Can you come to dinner with Aunt Mildred on Friday?  Vi will be there.  Ring me up about this tomorrow, please.

Goodbye, my love, my dear and fair one.  I am living till tomorrow.  We can't go out anywhere; I have just had to buy a new pair of shoes.

Your Terrick
