My Darling

I got a telegram from you4 yesterday, but haven’t had a letter for years — I long for news of you —

I have my arm now no longer in a sling — there is nothing the matter with me now except stiffness, which will soon wear off —

I may be able to get to Russia5 in the summer — It would be glorious if I could — I don’t know about Spain6 yet —

Please don’t leave me without letters —

All love
B
