Darling

Your letter3 just come. Thanks for typed letter,4 but they have corrected all the mis-spellings, which I particularly said was not to be done. Please take the letter back to them and say they must do it all over again, keeping the spelling as in the original. Get the copies sent to you so I can get them when we meet.

If a letter comes for me in my own hand-writing,5 please open it — it will be from the Studland House Agent.

I will arrive with a taxi at 11.30 on Thursday morning, and we will catch the 12.30 (Luncheon Car) at Waterloo. Let us go first to Lulworth,6 then to Swanage — or to Studland itself if there is an inn there.a

I could come up Wed. for the night but I don’t suppose it would suit you. O.7 goes to town Wed. If I come up Wed. I might see C.A.8 Wed. afternoon. But I am not set in it, as it loses a day’s work.

Post going — great haste. Only a short line from you this morning, written Friday. Shall hope for more on Tuesday. It will be heavenly by the sea with you. Goodbye Beloved.
