Dearest Mother,
We have arrived safely in the East. The area we are in is quite
picturesque and we will tell you all about once we are back home.
We do have some special news, however. Helen and I are expecting
our first child! It is rather intimidating. We are both
very excited and hope to be back in Uffington well before the birth.
I am, as always, concerned for Helen and the baby’s well being, with
all the extra dangers my position with the government and here in the
East. I know she is well able to take care of herself and we have
worked on her marksmanship with some help from our companions.
But she is still my darling and now has such a precious gift within
her, so I worry. I do understand that she will want to accompany
me/us in our work here, so I have talked it over with one in our group,
a Hindi man, who is an especial friend of mine. He and I will
work on some meditation to give me patience and peace to allow Helen
her will, while allowing me to keep an extra ‘eye’ on her.
In closing, we are well and there is plenty for me to do here.
Benton, as always is a blessing and being able to see his Robert more
often is a joy.
My best to you and my Sisters, I remain your loving son,
Simon
