Mummy dear,
Thank you so much for all the post cards. They are such a joy. I love the ones of Vicky
and you and Miky- Thank you also for the telegrams- My teeth are still worrying me, of course it
is nothing to worry about and I must just go through with it. What is a ?lore? is that my head as I
have neuralgia and also my eyes hurt. I suppose it is natural after 18 treatments at the dentists
each lasting for over an hour – We went to Dr. Weir. He asked ?ebarcing? questions and
seemed ?astonish? at my saying I did not have a had temper – Well he gave me some powders I
take every morning before breakfast- Luckly they are not at all bad and I do hope they will soon
make me feel more ready for life.
Mummy I don’t want you to worry about my eyes it may be only my teeth and also
growing at such a rate. Anyhow Matron and Nurse thought I should have my eyes looked at so I
will go to a great friend of ?Mimarz’s? who is a very good oculist to see if he could give me eye
wash or something like that to make them better.
Mr. + Mrs. Titulescu ?satarted for imesica? Yesterday. They have been so nice to me I
felt so sorry for Mr. Titulescu he was so sorry- he was dead tired working for our ?netched? war
debts- He did not even come down to lunch when I was there on Wednesday. He only came to
say goodbye. He said I was the only joy he had had all this time, then dashed out of the room
with tears in ?eyes?. I felt awful. I did not know what to do or say-
On Fridays we have ?house? evening ?and? on the Coast I gave a representation on my ?
wee? cinema with great success- Wednesday was a ?half? holiday so my house gave a dance ?F?
the rest of the school with great success. I was a ?weatres? with ?blue apron? And cup made of
paper. We were six of us – I fell quite ?in my over aliment surving sovend ? with two plates in
my hands.
I am feeling homesick today in fact ?came? a long time and I feel ?wether? near tears it is
silly of me but somehow it seems as if the time will never pass yet it will. I live for the moment
of getting home- Mummy dear forgive me for being so silly but I won’t let anyone know I am
feeling like that
I hope things are going better for you now and that his ?abeta? will get better and keep up
her good temper-
Well Mummy there really is not much to say. So I send you all my love.
