does not sound exciting. Sam &amp;<lb/>Ivan went on Thursday. <lb/>Iris has had a son &amp;<lb/> all goes well. Great joy of <lb/>course.
Peter arrived on Monday&amp;<lb/> Dorothy took him to the Riddil <lb/> Hall on Tuesday. On Wednesday<lb/> he disappeared and we were in great anxiety, but on <lb/>Thursday morning arrived<lb/> at Riddil Hall. Brought<lb/> back he ran off there again<lb/> on Friday. Again <gap/> claimed <lb/> he has again disappeared<lb/>. Is he looking for sheelagh? <lb/> He was not<hi rend="underline">particularly</hi> <lb/>attached to Ruth. It is an <lb/>unforeseen nuisance and he <lb/>makes himself so dirty and <pb/>disreputable. Emma writes that she is on <lb/>night duty again just when<lb/> she wanted three days leave<lb/> to go to Cairo. The hospital is<lb/> nearly empty and she thinks <lb/>they may not be asked to <lb/>sign on again. I think it <lb/>would be really better for<lb/> her to go somewhere else in<lb/> the hot season. No kittens yet but Julia &amp;<lb/> Peter quite friendly. You seem to have had company<lb/> on the boat. Emma says<lb/> a Cheshire man told her<lb/> they had not one of the<lb/> officers who went out left.<lb/> I hope your soup turned out<lb/> well. If you will tell me<pb/>
