6 Thank you for the fine chocolate & your good wishes. I am so sorry I
7was out when you came. I hope you like your new quarters. If I am
8better I'd like to come on Friday afternoon, but the difficulty is you
9might take all the trouble to come & I might not be able to go out.
10About 2.30 or 2. is the time I like always to go out, so that I can be
11back early.

13 Are you living in rooms, or have you taken a small house? I hope you
