20th July 1937 - Terrick to Mary

20th July

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.
