"I am very well & have just spent the evening walking about with Mr Cashmale, he & I seem to get on so well together, we hunt each other up every evening & have a chat for a couple of hours, we are good friends indeed. We go over our experiences for the day & have a good laugh & joke.

I know what a lot you will try to do, but just remember me. Sweetheart, I often wish you were a man so that I could have you beside me all day long. I think such a lot about you especially at eventide & 10 oclock [o'clock] at night & wonder what you are doing & the children, cuddle them for me & tell them Daddy is thinking of them."
