6I saw Ray & Julie this morning. I was delighted with them both. If I
7could buy, Ray I should do so & keep her with me all the time. Julie
8reminds me of you --- so you may guess I’m drawn to her. I do hope
9we shall see you both before we return to South Africa, if we ever
10both of us do.

12Ray will write you about Alassio.
