Seven Sisters

Wednesday

My dear Husband,

I have thought over all that was said yesterday, & I am ready to comply with your wishes, bring the boy back, inform you where we have been & do my duty to you in all things. But I expect to be treated in a proper manner – with just a dash of respect thrown in. I do not expect to have to be afraid to hear your key placed in the lock – indeed to DREAD it – as I have done sometimes. If I come back, I hope & trust, it is to begin afresh, to forget & to forgive all that is gone, to SINK SELF ( I think, yes I do, that is necessary on both sides) & to try to be happy. In this case I will come home tonight * bring the boy. I can send for my portmanteau afterwards.

Thank you very much for sending my mac;

Georgie

Another new word learnt!
