My Darling Love

No letter from you — I know you are very busy, but it would have been nice to have a line. I wonder how you are and how your rehearsals go — I am having a quiet time here — the autumn leaves are beautiful and today the sun is shining. I have nearly finished Thorndike on the animals3 — he goes on being very interesting. Ottoline4 is very full of her experiences in Ireland, with Sein Feiners5 and in Achil Island — I am coming back early tomorrow —

All my love, Beloved — Take care of yourself, please — doctor yourself, and get enough food and sleep — All tender thoughts are with you every moment.
