My dearest Darling

Here is the cheque — We will meet tomorrow at Devonshire House3 — we will go outside for meals (it would be so terribly sociable on the spot) and get C.A.4 to come with us when he can. I speak5 Sunday night, the absolute end of the proceedings.

Good news about Troy.6 I think I shall stay in Holland7 till you can come to Lynton8 — so I will get you to wire to Holland the moment you can come away —

So glad your writing goes on: As soon as I get away from the rush of London I shall begin to think of those letters9 — O my Heart, I do love you —
