10you have made them.

12If Sunday is free & you have nothing better to do & you would come &
13have lunch with us at 1 (boarding house lunch, not G. S. lunch of
14course!) we might drive out to Camps Bay again or sit on my balcony &
15have a nice restful talk in the afternoon.

18plans for the day. I want so much to see you once more. Perhaps we
