Same Address
Saturday
Chotie Darling,
I hardly know what to write about as I’ve had no mail for some time now – which cuts out that particular source of inspiration.
I’m enclosing my remaining coupons – for what they’re worth. If you’re pushed to find a use for them you might send Diller some (par Mary, if ever you should write….) and she could forward any surplus to Brinner.
Weather here hasn’t been up to much for some time now – expect it’s the same with you, which has finally eliminated any further chance of swimming.
Had a lot of parties lately – out every night since D day, but now, I steadfastly refuse to smoke whilst drinking which enable me to stay perfectly sober however much I take. I drove the party back last night in a jeep. I shall never know how I made it as about seven people in the back were trying to push me out. Damn funny.
Hope you’re “still” being a good little girl no C.B. and no ‘Roll me over’* episodes. One of these fine days I’ll meet someone from your Battery and learn the real truth about you.
The invasion show seems to be going OK though it’s early yet. Anyhow that’s a subject I’d prefer to leave alone.
Hope you got that book safely. I should really have registered it but I hadn’t time.
We had Gertrude Lawrence* at our camp last week – quite a good show.
Been playing pontoon all the afternoon – lost steadily, and again early this evening.
Heard anything of Eve lately? Let me know any news won’t you? I shall get about a hundred letters all at once pretty soon, I suppose.
Must close here for dinner(?)
All my love, Chotie Darling – hope to see you before very long.

*'Roll me over in the clover' was a very popular saucy song in 1944.
** Gertrude Lawrence, a famous English musical comedy actress, had recently arrived back in Britain from the US and performed for the troops just before D day. She was also one of the first to entertain the Allied troops in France.
