In the train
1 am
My dear Muriel,
I have just passed
thro' York, + seen (by moonlight)
all the old Dringhouses
landmarks; the shop cars at
Bishopthorpe etc! I was suprised
when they took us via Thirsk.
If I had known, i would have
wired them at home, but I
naturally thought it would
be via Leeds. Can you read
this, my own? The train is
shaking abominably. We had
tea + a pie at the station
but in the carriages -
platform 14. We do not
change, I understand,
