My darling Chris
I did not get a letter from you last night but had three by the first post this morning
I am sorry it is a will case, as they seem to take such a long time to decide them.
You ought to go to the theatre or somewhere every evening dear. I wish you would.
I expect the rest from the railway journey every day will do you good. That is the only thing I am glad about you being away for, but I wish I was with you, I miss you more and more every day.
We are both well. I am just going to take the boy out for a walk. It is freezing but has been snowing this morning.
I am not going to expect you home tonight but long to see you.
With love and kisses from your little boy and your loving wife.
Katie Elmslie
