6 Dear Cyril,
7

9have undergone a terrible strain. I think you ought to have a long
10time of complete rest.

12 I have to go this morning to Richmond & tomorrow morning to Hampstead.
13But after that I shall be at home every morning. Could you come on
14Wednesday about 11 or any other day if that doesn’t suit you.

16 It is something to be thankful for that at last you are here. I like
17your brother’s face so much.
