6My hearty congratulations – but I’m not a bit surprised!! I haven’t
7yet seen the B.A. list, Dad wired me you were top. I wonder when you
8will be off to Europe. Oh had I the wings of a little dive there –
9there – away would I fly.

11I’m sure you’ll love it. Perhaps I’ll finish my book some day & come &
12look you up before you return to Africa.

14Thy small
