6 I send you some letters about Naude which may interest you. Return
7please. I never seem to see you now. I am very well & enjoying my work,

9morning.

14 I am so glad they like Peter Naude. I'm afraid you are having a
15terrible evening for returning from Robin Island. I hope you won't
16feel bad.

18 I went for a drive with the Miss Loch's & Miss Villiers this afternoon.
19 The fresh wind was glorious. Ask Miss Shippard to send me the photo
20she promised. Dick & I were taken this afternoon, but Dick would wag
21his tail. The Photographer said he'd never seen such a dog!
