My Dear Matthew,

It's not that big of a deal, not going to the cinema… is it? Or is that another thing that marks me as strange?

I don't know, I've just… never had the desire to go, I guess. Are they enjoyable?

Unfortunately for footie, I don't think that's happening any more, but I can ask (and yes, I will tell you which team I cheer for - which will probably be whichever team Mrs. Collins roots for). If you want to explain cricket to me, that means you'll have to take care of yourself over there so you can come back. With the blackout curfews there's not much to be done at night, and my overnight shifts at the diner have been cut back, but Rufus is managing as well as he can, and Superintendent Robinson now escorts me home from the university if I stay late at the library.

It's all… so very strange still with the war so very far away; Miss Fisher and Superintendent Robinson aren't happy with the rumblings in Asia between Japan and China, but so far it seems to be staying on the mainland. I did hear about Italy losing Eastern Libya though, so I suppose that's good news. How bad do you think it will get for you over there?

I'm glad you're enjoying the book, and no, like I said, your correspondence (and you coming home safely), are all the souvenirs I need from you.

Your Friend,

Alice
