7 I have your letter. Oh it will be good if you come out in September.
8But stay your full stay out first. Miss Viljoen wants to sell her
9house in Hanover. It’s the nicest house in the place, close to mine,
10but she may want £600 for it as that’s what she gave. But they are
11hard up & might take less. Never mind if you are al only in South
12Africa where I can sometimes see you two. Love to Alice. I can so
13fully understand what a great help it has been to her to do something
14practical to help Hellen. Nothing helps one like doing some work, &
15getting it done.

20it was. I can’t get about so much as I could.
