Dearest Colette

It was dear of you to send me “sweet lovely roses”,2 which I am enjoying both in themselves and as symbols. They are still blossoming cheerfully, and there are still buds for the future.

I should like to know how you are, and how the paralysis3 does, and still more how you are off for money. I have become comparatively rich, and I do not want to be solitary in this state. Thank you for your dear little letter.4

My love to you as always.
