My darling Old – horror!
The enclosed came this morning.
We are all right – no burglars nor nothink – only just a
little dull in the evening. Artie is most angelic - was so good yesterday that
I began to fancy he was not going to live.
A bed time he announced his intention to wait supper for
“my father” so I persuaded him you must have lost your train. This morning
before he came down he called out “Has my father gone? He didn’t say goodbye to
me”
See how you live in our memories!!
I don’t think you’d better bring any meat – there seems
to be plenty ; though if you come to dinner on Saturday something will
be necessary then.
Hope you were able to propitiate the landlady to your
mutual satisfaction.
Fondest love from Artie & the poor White Slave

And so – another word that I’ve never stumbled over
before:
pro·pi·ti·ate
verb (used with object) -at·ed, -at·ing.
to make favorably inclined; appease;
conciliate.
