My Beloved

Your dear little letter3 came this morning. — I am sorry you are in a financial panic — but if you get work it will be all right won’t it? Yes White4 is most lovable.

I had an unexpected spare hour this afternoon and rang you up hoping you would be free — but you were out — Now I am just off to Camb. — back here Sat. morning. York5 was a great success. Goodbye my Darling my loved one. I long to be with you again.  It seems such ages. My heart is with you always my Colette.
