From Bill in Wheatley. Bill is upset to have had only one letter from Hella. He is still waiting to hear from her about the forms and suggests it would be better to send them to her before she goes to Berlin so that this will not further delay her coming to England. Work in the lab is quiet but he is busy as he is now also working as Mess caterer.

Things will not be as difficult as they were during their four years together in Germany. With envelope.

From Bill at CML, Nicosia. Bill writes he has not replied to Hella’s letter for so long for two reasons: firstly, her letters are startling and take a while to recover from; secondly, they have been busy with an increase in terrorist attacks and a huge fire which caused many casualties. As he writes the letter a colleague has remarked that the tour abroad has caused him to look ten years older. In reply to her question he did not take, touch or recall seeing her [testimonial] folder in Egypt nor does he think his friend Paddy took it. He suggests she contact Alice in London about it. He tells her that he is pleased that she is both well and happy. He signs off with love and sends regards to her mother.
