My Darling

Letters are terribly slow — yours of May 293 only reached me this morning (Monday). — It must be lovely in Paris4 — Yesterday we5 went to spend the day with Brailsford6 and had a very interesting talk about all he had seen.

I don’t much believe this letter will arrive in time to find you — I long for you to be back — Boismaison7 is fixed up. — Do you remember the name of the farm at Lulworth?8 It is gone out of my head. — All love — and many thoughts unspoken.
