1Thank you so much for your letter. Yes, it is hard to think I shall
2never see Europe again. I have longed so to visit Italy & Holland &
3other places, but now I leave for Africa on the 13th of August. I cant
4help hoping that perhaps somehow you will visit Africa again some day.
5How glad I shall be to see you.
