Saturday
Skegness
This is only a note about the things in here. First of all, don’t let the children see the sweets and things. You can produce one each for the children if you like, but I would like to save a few as a surprise for when I come home. Second: put the scarf somewhere the moths won’t get at it. Bert sent it to me and asked me to look after it as it is the first thing Jane ever made for him. If you know you are going to see him at Litherland any time, will you return it to him? In any case, take good care of it for him because he evidently thinks a lot of it. Thirdly: will you shrink these socks as much as possible for me? They are the ones Mother sent and they are rather big. Lastly, will you wash my pyjamas for me? They haven’t been done yet. Perhaps you will send them back to me at Aberdeen and then will you enclose a couple of writing pads? I’ll be glad of them by that time.
Let me know if the parcel arrives in good condition.
Bye for now, love. All yours,
Arthur X
