Your sweets came to me when a little girl artist friend of mine was
2with me, so I laid in the bed & she sat in the arm chair & we put the
3box between us on a chair before the fire, & picked out the ones we
4little liked best, & talked about Babies & names & said what a good
5thing it was you didn't call your baby Veronica.

7 I'm coming to London very soon to finish my course at the woman's
8hospital in Endle St. I shall have no time to go out at all, but will
9you sometimes come & see me & show me your two little ones & I'll show
10you all mine.
11
12 I hope your cousin is better. I wish I'd seen the Baby at Mentone
13before I left. His aunt said he was lovely. Your cousins were both so
14kind to me. I wonder if many American men are like your cousin Tom. I
15hope you had a good time at ?Nancy. There are some nice pictures there.
