My Own Darling Girl,

Mum told me you had your hair permed and as you had not mentioned it I thought you must be trying to catch a new flame. Fooling apart though dear, if your affections were to change, for God's sake don't be self-sacrificing about it. Don't let any of the hard things I write sometimes hurt your feelings Jean darling, but one never knows when and where we'll meet again.

Things are going Ok here with a few air raids around now and again (behind us mainly). Perhaps they will put on a show tomorrow night. The old page 18moon is full now. We are quite safe here though. By the way dear my hair is not thinning out in this climate but one has to keep it very short with the dust and lack of fresh washing water.
