first & second to start; I hope Bookbox can shed her/his light on the remaining words
If Anita is really set on going to ..., I wish
she would hurry up and go, anything to get her out
of London. I can't ...any if she can sleep, eat,
wash, or ...escape being killed: What use is
morale & bravery against tanks.
****************************************************
But do look after Anita and don't let the
gallant creature be needlessly brave. Also you must
say me & Paul in ...such as it is.
How I wish I had you all safe here in my
lovely and curtained house. I could keep you here
until it's all over.
@Fnna: Can you tell me more about the person writing these letters? I guess she's the mother of Anita? I read in your personal text that you research White Russian emigres. Is this mother from there and was she perhaps used to writing in Cyrillic? This could explain the peculiar way of forming the letters.
