My dear Lassie,

Very many thanks for

yours of the 28th + 29th received

last night. The F.W.'s have

both arrived safely; I have enjoyed

them. I do envy you all at the

Bathing Pool. I'm glad you got to

jersey + have been imagining what

you will look like in it. Yes,

my darling, I especially think

of you when I've turned in, + I

usually go to sleep reconstructing

in my mind old scenes eg.

our honeymoon. Living them

all over again. I must say
