1Thank you so much for your letter. I’ve been up in Cambridge most of
2this week where Ursula has had to be operated on for appendicitis. I
3telephoned to Harston to ask if Polly was in Cambridge but Mrs
4Phillips replied that she was away; but would be back tomorrow. So, as
5I had to leave last night, I missed her. When are you people coming.
6When I am in Africa you go to England, when I am in England you go to
7Africa. Will leaves for Nauheim next week if all goes well with Ursula,
8 I go a little later
