Dearest Colette

A thousand thanks for the sweet lovely roses3 all of which arrived safely on my birthday. I was glad and touched that you remembered the ceremony and succeeded in causing the flowers to arrive on the right date. Their beauty delights me.a

I hope things go well with you and that your paralysis4 got better.

With fond love,
B.
