Dearest, No letter from you this evening nor for anyone else so it is the Post which has failed and not you. I for got to tell you I got the very nice little picture you sent me. I expect A will be a bit like that and if so will not do too badly. Today has been very nice and fine and the work has been able to go on under very favourable conditions but there is a fearful amount to do yet Tomorrow being Christmas day we go on as usual. I remember well last Christmas day
