My dearest stupid old husband I am sure you will quite forget Allans and the table napkins. I wish you would enquire about them on your way home. Be sure you do not forget about Robert. If you look after that habit shirt for me ask Warburton for a white habit shirt worked with black to wear in mourning. 4/6 or 5/ is quite enough to give for it, but you need not trouble yourself with this unless you like as I can send Johnny at night. Come home soon like a darling and help me to pick the gooseberries. Ever your own affectionate Pussy Punpkyheea McLean The last letter the dear pet wrote me [Donald McLean's handwriting]
