My Darling

I have just got your letter, and have a few moments to write before my people come. Thank you so much for getting the tables. You don’t like me to thank you for all you have done for my furniture, but I am very grateful in spite of you. I will find out when the Magic Flute is. It would be very nice if you and P. came down to see it. Perhaps you would both come to tea with me after it and/or [as the lawyers say] to luncheon before it. There can be no good reason against it. I should immensely like to hear the Magic Flute. — Yes, there is vastly more in you than comes out in the way of work — I get all, I think, just as much as if your health were perfect, tho’ I should get it more always if you were stronger — but as regards work it would make a vast difference. And I should like reading philosophy with you more than is possible now. All this is apart from wishing you free of pain.

Now this must go to the post or I shall be caught by my young men. Tomorrow Darling I am longing to be with you again. I hope your morning in bed will have rested you. I love you, I love you. I found time this afternoon to read over a number more of your letters — they are such wonderful letters Dearest — I do love them. They seem so real and living — every word is so full of you.

Goodbye till tomorrow my Dearest Love.

Your
B.
