My Beloved1, 2

I am really well again,3 and anxious to go on Sat. Could I see for somea time tomorrow (Friday) to talk about it? I shall go to the office in the morning — otherwise my whole day is free — I had lost all desire for everything except absolute idleness, but I am beginning again to feel some things nicer than others, and by Sat. I shall be normal I hope — Goodnight my sweetest loved one.
