My Darling love

Here I am, moved into a house2 — a house round a courtyard, only ground floor, very Chinese and delicious — I have filled it with old furniture and Chinese rugs and lovely things — it is not finished yet — it is great fun. Go on writing to the University — it is safer — I haven’t heard from you by the last mail — I think of you constantly Beloved and long for the time when I shall be with you again — though I am very happy here.

I am dreadfully busy as yet as the house got me behind — I will write a proper letter soon — this is just one line to carry you my love.
