A Quiet Time - Wednesday 29th June 1944

Chotie Darling,

                                    Have just received your letter dated June 5^th so you can see what a state the mail situation is in.  Hope it sorts itself out pretty soon.

            Having a quiet time at the moment doing Liaison Officer to a Brigadier – quite cushy in fact.

            Glad to hear you had a letter from mother – and that she appears to be in the picture concerning us.  She suggested in one of her recent letters that you must think rather a lot of me.  Is this correct? 

            I’ve been soaked through about every three hours for the last two days.  Hot sun alternating with heavy rain.  You appear to have had a good party but alas – no tenors.  I certainly don’t know “Sammy” – though I seem to remember Sammy Someone at Bealesons*. 

            Enclosing cuttings mother sent of old Headmaster (Sidcup**) where Brinner and I went as kids.  The other cutting of auction at Sevenoaks.  Sounds too good to be true.                                                          Must close here.

                                                                                    All my love, Dear

                                                                                                                        Dicker
