Last Sunday three fell about two miles from our house; the windows and doors shook and rattled, and we heard that one man was killed and three injured.
"London, Liverpool and Birmingham, as well as the south and south-cast' Ports, have been pretty. well bombed, but people tell us that considering the intensity of the attacks and the hundreds of, tons of bombs dropped, the result of the damage from the German point of view must be Very disappointing.
