My Beloved

I have just written to the Attic4 but am not sure of its arriving before you start for Cardiff — I sent you both our thanks for the ties, which are perfect, and which we respectively love. What are you doing in Cardiff?5 This is only one little word of love to welcome you when you arrive and tell you that all my tender thoughts are with you every moment, blessing you for being so dear and so wonderful and for filling my life full full of joy and beauty and a great glory —
