My Beloved

Thank you for your dear little line — Oh I do love you my heart’s Life — It was heavenly seeing you yesterday — I have sent the 2 books after you — I got my passport and applied bya Dutch visa,4 which I hope I shall get — Lunched at Lady Cunard’s5 with Elizabeth6 — hated it and her. She is a fool and what a snob —

Thursday evening. Mont Blanc 7.30 — what a joy to look forward to —

Please alter Lynton date in your green book to Sat Dec. 20, as I find my lectures begin7 again Jan. 5, a week earlier than I thought —

All my love, my precious Darling. Take care of yourself.
