Another historical scribble to decode!

[reddingweddy]

Since we all enjoyed @OldTrot's historical letter deciphering, here's another for you - this one is a bit more recent but no less unfathomable. Off you go!

Reporting for duty! I'll have a look

My darling Robin

Marvellous! Breath bated etc etc

Gosh I'll need to adjust my eyes for this!

My darling Robin,

??? I can almost picture ?? at the ? path & ??? It's a nice idea and she will like the change.

From a ? reach have you ? this way yet? I thought I would do up a small blanket and ?? that much unless you have already got some that will do. ?? magnificent ?

That's page 1 as I see it briefly

I’ve got a chunk in the middle - a magnificent invitation came from U Charlie for the girls & me today - I expect you & Audrey have one too. What a lot of joy he must be getting out of all this! Poor WFC fell recently and broke his right arm - a clergyman friend wrote to me for him asking me to let anyone know who might be interested.

I know you--- this morning I can almost picture-

Then there’s a bit where she says she’s written to someone to let someone else know, will you tell Maureen? Can’t quite get the next part but it finishes with I’ll be thinking of you, must fly to catch the post.

I think the start is I (something) your letter this morning

you and ? Lallo at this path

Page 2

what a lot of joy he must be getting out of all this. Poor WSC fell and broke his right xx. A clergyman friend wrote to me for him asking me to let anyone know who might be interested. I've written xx and asked him to let xx know, will you let Maureen know.

WSC is Churhcill going by those initials, who's the letter from and to?

I know you better this morning?

I wondered if it was "Gus and Lallo" because of the way the writer forms the g at the start of other words...

There was a broken arm and a clergyman friend in there. I need to look properly on the computer.

Oh initials WFC not WSC. I saw Churchill mentioned a bit later on and assumed it was him.

I got excited about WSC but do wonder if the middle initial is an F like in Fairfield Lodge at the start... although it does go on to mention Churchill by name. He wasn't still PM then was he?

Yes I can't see where Churchill breaks an arm on a google - he did break other bones though but not until later

I think it's WFC too

Towards the end - “I hope this ? (money?) is helpful ? ? ?” Is all I’ve got 😂

As a side note, I think we need a niche board specifically for deciphering these letters! Love these threads.

'I hope this meeting tomorrow will be helpful darling will be thinking of you' - near the end, and 'must fly for post.'

No, Eden was in I think.
Is it a pram mentioned halfway down page 1?

I think it is a pram because I think the next sentence says "Have you got his bed yet?"

Wonder if this is from a doting granny?

Have you got his bed yet? I thought I would do up a blanket and send him and Austin one each, unless you have already got some that will do.

Yes' it ends with 'must fly for post'

@reddingweddy is it anyone known to you at all? Or a random letter like mine are?

I may set up a dedicated thread in the History topic and then anyone can chip in and add things as they want

My Darling Robin

I know you (?) this money and can almost picture (?) and (?) at this tow path and in the station (?) - a nice idea and she will like this change from a pram (?). Have you got this (?) yet? I thought I would do up a small blanket and send now and another next week - unless you have already got some this will do.

A magnificent invitation came from Charlie for (?) and (?) and me today. I expect you and Audrey have one too. What a lot of joy? he must be getting out of all this.

Poor HFC fell recently and broke his right arm - a clergyman friend wrote to me for him asking me to to let any one know who might be interested. I’ve / I’m (?) Leon? S? and asked him to let (?) know. Will let Maureen know. (?) (?) him though. Have now all J? Mr Churchill (?) it all. I hope this money is helpful tomorrow darling. I’ll be thinking of you. Must fly for post. Love from Mummy.
