There is a total of 11 points a person can win in a game of cassino. I made some sort of crack about it not being like golf and didn't win another game! Later he wrote me the little note I'm enclosing. I wanted to see how he did it, so he played Jane a few hands and even when she dealt she got just 3 points. I couldn't see a thing wrong with the game, so I guess I'd better stay away from poker, don't you?
Juliette has just finished making a hernia in her last stocking and has bestowed a bunch of legs of hose on me to send to you for rugs. I'll stick them in the suitcase.
She now contributes the remark that she hopes she gets where there are bombings because when she burps the enemy will think its the secret weapon.
When I asked for green tea I had in mind the package of balls I brought home. You didn't need to send any if those were gone. Parders are more than welcome to them.
I think it would be very nice for you to give Agnes & Ruby some of the family linen.
I play games in the part to the left I think.
picture? } where we play - game desk
I believe it is taken from the end. I wear my grey seersuckers to work, as it is more comfortable. Usually the other on Sunday. 
Glad the weather has been warm. It ought to help the fuel problem.
Love,
Helen
