Dearest Colette

Peter2 is ill, so I am writing to thank you very warmly for the really lovely salt cellars and pepper boxes. They are a joy.

I shall have luggage on Friday, so could you arrange to have a car at the station at 6.40. I think the hotel3 can manage it. I presume we shall dine at the hotel. Love.
