3Dear Mr Kallenbach

5 Thank you for your note I'm glad all goes so well with you. I am going
6away for some days to the country this week, but will let you know
7when I return next week. No I wouldn't like to live in that part. I
8like to be either right in the country or in the heart of London. I
9shall perhaps go later to live near some friends in Scotland. I hope
10you have good news of Mr Ghandi.
