You will know it has had a ter- rible time. People were brought here. The chapels, school and a hall were filled when wardens went round find- ing billets, Others came and took rooms to get away, so Chandler's Ford is full. Six of Cecil's (niece's hus- band) relatives came here. Some poor things have lost everything. It is a sad time for so many. Enemy planes pass over, and the guns open The chief news is about bloodshed--it makes me feel sad, How thankful we shall be when this awful war is ended. "1 am so glad everything is plentiful with you, may it remain so. It is good to hear your house is so nice. It must give you much pleasure. - Glad your lines are in pleasant places. I have so much for which to: be thank- ful and am grateful for all mercies. One day how nice it will be to get home to London. If my letter is not satisfactory please pardon; there are so many peo- ple around--we are a big family. Shopping is difficult. Southampton, the shopping centre is a desolation, This is no place for much of it--and Winchester is crowded out. Jessy (niece) went yesterday. She said she could not buy anything--it was so crowded" and everything scarce and soared so in price. Buses were crowded. It is six miles-from here.
