My dear Lucy

This is just a line to wish you a prosperous voyage. I hope you will find the Atlantic as good for thinking things out as I found Cornwall; tho’ it seems to me that you have thought out a great many things by this time.

It was a happiness to see how much better you were this time than in the winter; and I hope and fully believe that you will get through the future without ever again having quite the same degree of unhappiness as you have had.

Here comes the postman, so I must stop, only thanking you for your friendship, and for your sympathy, which you manage to convey without saying more than one desires.

Yrs affectionately
Bertrand Russell.
