My Darling

Thank you for your dear letter3 which I got this morning — you are so good to me — I shall bless you if you can melt the ice out of my heart. — You were wonderful the night before last —

Would you mind sending enclosed4 to Priscilla?5 I don’t know her new address. I should like it to reach her tomorrow — I should love to give her a present if you could think of one — I can’t.

Your
B.
