Sunday.

D. Fido,

Dashing off a note to-day on Pup machine, as to-morrow,
will prob. be noisy gain. Anyhow, it only to wish you all,
blessings from the 2nd and all happiness to come. I enclose a
luck-bringer from dear Berne ; all the days were so especially
happy this year. I weep when I think I am leaving. All the
roses I get have some special sort of essence, of joy,
distillating of Kenwin. It is also the birth-day of Kenwin,
you will remember and the collar-utah so give Rover my best
greetings and all congratulations along those lines. You
will forgive complete ineptitude of my words, as this is the first

scrap of type I have done since I left London, the longest time on record that I have been without a machine. It says nothing, you must really forgive me. I will write little notes or cards, when you leave, you will understand, this great transition that makes me so happy. I am sure everything is boiling and simmering in the UNK like mad and I will hope to see the Turtle and will have a cozy relationship with him, re Boston etc. I don't really want to go away but when you all talk so fast and furiously and about war too, I feel I must have an alternative pitch or niche or nest and think only in terms of an arm-chair and some music and old vols. of Five Little Peppers and St. Nicholas vols. bound, so nothing to worry about.

I feel so complete and happy with the very small circle that really belongs and feel more and more that that non-stop escalator of bugs up my stairs is only a detriment to the gentle and very suave and peaceful workings of the UNK. There are plenty of people, but I feel the best solution is an occasional L. and L. party. Perhaps

I could finance one day either there or in my place, all

seems right and fitting you should be with dog, the collar-day,
and I will make some propositions to Kenwin for its TAG.

Have all the joy you can get out of life, I am so very happy and mellow, feeling that my real Indian summer is on me, O giddy be, such sun-light, such warmth and a nice cozy cushion before the fire and if the war comes, it comes, and I will run to another cushion if I have time... but trust God, please do, and keep your powder dry, you good old I776-ers ... please do not be afraid, it will all work out only do NOT be let in to be martyred for those sort of Joan Todds, it is YOUR duty to live for the state, the one and indivisible UNITED STATES of the WORLD, that and that only is to come... thought we don't know when.

Dear Br.,

Again many good wishes for der TAG. Do hope all passed off oke, and not too much sentiment to undermine the UNK.

Pup is in fine form, was up early, did all the house-keeping before I was down, then came with me to Timmie and got some cigarettes in town, while I got a hundred alional, and some veramon, and changed a note. I will go dressmaker and get ticket to-morrow. Pup is really very good, don't know whether it is the blowing-up or the thought of the Turtle, or just being alone, while the Bvr always said was the best with and for her, in the days. Wandering along grand'rue, I thought I might meet Beaver and Mooney at every turn... so full of associations here, very good for me, a great lift this year to the old Unk. Had a terrible night but think my last and final psychic boil burst... had to go through the family funerals, which I did not attend, and think got Father and Brother off and now am in to the Beaver layer and feel this will stabilize me. That is why I felt so awful your going... and always do, memories and hang-overs of the old Riant days and the fact that said good-bye to Bvr on way to states for last time.

And so on. Anyhow, I am sure it is shaped at last.

A package came for VEE, none fraps to pay, from Zürich, the Piglet said it was too much and as I had no idea wht it might be- maybe sales samples- I agreed with Pig to say s absent for three weeks, and let it come back. Hope that was oke ?

Painters to right, left, centre. I had brilliant idea to
take siesta the hour they do, from one to two, and it worked
beautifully. I was getting a real sort of Poe's tales
terror that I would never be able to sleep again. Think, this
broke the black-wave... feel much better now.

I read enclosed from Klaas to save me the trouble of telling me it again, poor girl. I would be glad to help her myself.

Rest of post is circulars and some old Bank
book, etc., see enclosed. I will post on more next
time, nothing personal.

Quite fun to get back to machine. I keep it
in your room, think I won't hurt it, but it will need a new
ribbon, I will not attempt to change it.

Love to Rvr. again very best to VEE.

And your mother of course, and good the bretherhood. It is
amazing how happy P. and I are.

Again a thousand thanks, ever your old

Rain. Timmie said we were in bad need of it. It is as well,
as keeps one in to pack, and the few days before the storm broke
were very, very hot and dry and the painters very noisy.

None yesterday nor to-day, and to-morrow will prob. be quiet
again. Anyhow, we are soon off.

I will be glad to have Pup for the days or longer as you wish.

I like Sitwell (E.) . She has long chapter
on the horrors of the under-dog in the Vic. era. Very
charming and delightful description of court life, but
legitimate as one feels she knows it backward, and her
sentiments much for the working women and men of the
terrible industrial period.

Price-J. is a mixture, good
reading but very public-school minded really. You
might however, order a copy for M. Moore as he has several
pages on her poetry which he praises to the skies, though
elsewhere heuns down"American" writing... maybe he
doesn't know M.M. is one. Anyhow, the vol. is like
that, but I am sure it would be a great joy to M.M.
to have it. Price-J. speaks of"Robert" apropos of
the mercury period, very nicely, too.

Much love to you all. Greet
George and the crowd all round and best wishes for a
happy stay and good return. Ever, devotedly, ye olde

Le-owndes.

Sept IO.

Dear Fido,

Thank you so much for birthday greetings and same re Great Bear.
I had very neat dream last night of you and me and said same
Bear. We were teasing him about an actress, Anna Held ,
popular in my extreme youth. Evidently the Bear represents
a good community fur-conductor between out unks, so all
is well. I had a most heavenly night, woke up, wondering
where I was, it was so quiet, such utter peace here. I suppose it
is the SEA and the sea-level that gets me in England, or rather
in London. Kex came in, looked very well, was so funny and
upish about Niel, who did not behave according to what is
evidently " done", caused much embarrassment to the dog,
really, really, one does NOT bring that sort of person back
to the house does one ? And introduce him to ones FRIENDS,
does one ? And so on. I was really much amused but solemn.
He spoke of you and wanting you so much, States this winter.

Bup is very good,
is off now to send you a wire to say we are well. I did not
send it yesterday, could hardly construe the thoughts, as
my knees gave way with fatigue, VERY good crossing, one of the
best for years, but boat was full of rather distinguished frogs,
K. tells me Rotz is crowded with them, all getting away
from the "revolution." This is a new turn of events, however,
I know he would be very exciting and I feel very smug to have this
triangle made here for us all.

place here for us all.

Just this second, L. and L. was handed in at the door, for a
birthday present. Buddie had bunches of marvelous violet,
rose, gladiolus-es (I object to the Latin pedant-form)
for me. The ice-box did not work, but good old Rvr. got
down on his knees and btm. and made it go, a real
technician's job, Rvr is a good "worker" manke.

Rvr. comes in this
evening after Bear, and we go out to dinner. He evidently wanted
us to look smart but Pup has all her best clothes at Audley,
and it is pouring, and I want just to slunk, so will
try not to disgrace Rvr. but will wear just something in-between.

Poor VEE. May be it is as well that she sees a
little of real Angleterre; after Jubilee, she had such a rosy
idea. Give her my best, say all was well and I don't think
Emile was very bad, as he was slunking round with the manure, that
temptation I suppose, would get him off his death-bed, anyhow,
we told Pup to tell you not to worry. Both Ed. and Piglet
stood at attention at the door when we went off and seems
pleased with the tips, also the cook. K. wanted all news of his
fish pond and laughed when I told him it was very nice but more like
a horse-trough. I took away some roses and Pup some sprays
of the Freud old edleweiss. I will write "papa" to that effect,
prob. to-day, as anniversary.

Best to all and sundry. I am really
so happy for this flat, enjoyed getting Pup and self breakfast.
Pup is coming to" protect " me at the Kettle, they will want all
foreign news.

Thank you for much cutting, had also news of Tos.

from Bud. Kex was very sniffy about Bud, " he is smug since
he has become a success. "

Just as I was stamping envelope, Pup came back from rain,
arm full of lilies and anemonies, from he hole-in-the-wall,
she said. Thank you so much, dear Fido, for this joint
birthday, for you and the Pup were always together in my UNK,
and the anemonies so particularly link with spring 1919.
It seems to me to be Pups birthday as I took her my tray
this morning and gave myself hers, then changed and
explained to Pup, who was much intrigued with the workings
of the UNK. You and Pup and self, ... indisulable. In the
lovely things... and now I want more than a thing that you
should barge off to States, do that for my Tag, and have a
good time with or without Rover.

I am getting this off, darling Fido,
I can not speak of your "present" for the "card" was that. No.
You must stop being generous, I can not catch up to 1919 and
1920, so don't pile Pelion on Ossa or vice-versa.

My beloved Fido,

thanks and love, from the
ever new-lease-of-life
nine-lived old

Sept. II. Fri.

Dear Fido,

Guardian has come, thank you so much. I feel so important.

After I wrote, a marvelous bundle of lilies came from you,

and beautiful gold-roses, really my Fido! Kex blew

in and we went upstairs to Aperitif, very funny, like
Berlin, full of old turtles, and we sat for two hours, "ex is

"banting," so funny, he is, talks of Monte, as if it were
a rest and fat cure, like Osbert at Aix. Kex came back
and stayed till nearly II, wanted to oil my gramaphone, is quite
the man-about-the-place...

O, I forgot to tell you and Vee. Jules
whispered to Pup that he knew the mason on the wall and that
the mason who is an old friend, your savez, says that N. is
only doing a terrace and is trying to scare you with scaffoldings. I
don't know if this is true, but it is good news.

Bear was very nice and
slightly cold, he would drag you into a dream I had of a Horse and
Anna Held, of all thighs, but it is obviously a "new Freewoman,"
(that one in, Old Egoist) idea of all being free and equal.
Anyhow it is fun, though makes me feel horribly rushed. "ex
is evidently giving up his time to it. Bud called up, but

flat that she liked so much, is getting on her nerves, which I
had always more or less predicted. Later, she may take a
smaller place ... or a different, though she is devoted to her
little garden, brought me in quite a marvellous cluster of
three kinds of autumn-crocuses, quite a miracle. Well, this
is only by the way.

I am deep in my horse-phantasy, an escape mechanism with the
P.B. It is most illuminating, ( now don't offer me
a horse). I have been looking over
Town and City, and find a picture of Ezra and some scenes of
Venice and Capri that I like. I think I will post some of the
numbers on to the Pratts, as I hear from Margaret P., who seems
anxious for news, and tells me news of sports. What a life!
Peggy apparently did well with her farm-school and is due now
at home. One of the boys went to Lapland (I think) with his
school. Anyhow....

Will try to call up Rover later inay, am thinking of you, and
will hope all is well. Kind thoughts to the VEE, I am sure
she will be glad to be back.

Rather dank, but I am wrapped in one of the white woolies and feel
like the metzner-baby.

Much love, ever ye

Monday, Sept. 21.

Dear Fido,

The form just arrived, I will have Silvia in to sign and
supervise it, thank you so much.

I had a nice talk with S. yesterday. She is in much the same
fix with Mollie as I am with Pup. Mollie does drive and
apparently very well; as a beginner must have someone in the
car, I believe for about six months, I suggested (very
tentatively) that M. take over Pup for a small fee, S.
said of course, "no fee", but there might later be some sort
of arrangement, as Mollie is being pd-a-ed, and is a sort of
link. However, this is only a vague suggestion and Pup may
be on her own by then.

Also talked with S. about
her work I said nothing about actual possibilities of anything
at office or anywhere, but I think in a year, she would jump
at ANYTHING out of the school world. She sees all that as
an impulse of the UNK, was in a school last that had
barred windows looking out on a tenement, but with a kind
and good "head", now is in a decent building but with a
preposterous woman over her, and so it works. She is very
philosophical and says it is all a sort of "symbol" of her own
frustrations, but all the same, I put this to you, as something,
somewhere, might turn up later. You, yourself, spoke of it.
I made no sort of promises but simply told her that she ought
to" hold the right thought" and it would all come right. The

there was no special news, we all meet Tues., as per
arrangement.

So good to have machine again.

I had your wire and Georges, think him so much, it was
grand, and I had a ravishing day. Bud sent in some comic
records and Pup played them for me after tea.

Kex saw Paul who asked for Bryher and H.D.

He said Essie all-but cut him.

She would!

Bee reading Guardian in the- what-not. Gave Pup over an
article on Spain, very illuminating. Thank you again, so much.

Sun out and cool but yesterday it got a bit
murky. We were lucky in Channel. I must off to Bear.
It seems an awful rush but imagine this winter will end the
thing- at least shape it. I feel the sky-rocket bust in
the Unk, this summer and am very happy, but am weaving and
having a cozy time.

Much love and forgive rather dull letter. In haste,
ever, and with a 1000 thanks- by the way, I am 70-0-0
over the 1000 now, but like to see the 1000, please, I will
"Invest it later."

Gruss

Tues. Sept 22.

Dear Fido,

Thank you for good news from Paris. I will write when I hear from Pup. I hope all is well, chez Kenwin.

It is very foggy here to-day. I am soon off. Had letter from Georgie about some prints in the MSS and will answer. I found Town and C. very funny, the article of Mable Dodge L. on Adrina, linking him up with Lorenzo and indirectly Lorenzo with face-cream ... also saw a portrait of Caresse Crosby at long last, and an article on Uncle F. and Back and Bethlehem, all in the old vibration, for me, good for UNK. I am posting the lot, I told you to M. Pratt.

Party upstairs last night, went on one dreary tune for an hour; after twelve, I got my umbrella and banged on ceiling and it stopped, but it got me going round and round, also phobes about Pup, so did not get to sleep till very late, so forgive this. I will write a more snapped-up letter, I hope to-morrow or later. This just to thank you for yours.

Again apologies; am doing flat, got shelves in kitchen and
some old china out of the way, and stacked all the full
tins where the empties were, and got into some of
Pups shelves. If Pup is to be here much, I must have the
whole flat as neat as a pin and make her keep it so, all
rather a chore, but think I will get it right, and no
boubt good for my own UNK. Anyhow, did a lot of real
hard work yesterday, and when I have space, I will
get in a good supply of soups and so on, and then will
have real soup-kitchen, will prob too get some curtains for
kitchen window etc.

How, much love and more later, of more interest, I
hope, ever ye

Wed. Sept. 23.

Dear Fido,

hours

Pup turned up, the plane was several late starting, due to
thick fog here. To-day, too, there is thick ditto.

Pup seemed subdued and happy, different, I felt, in the Unk,
prob. you and Pab. and the trip propitiated her UNK, for the
shock of Turtle and Saint D. Anyhow, I shall try to live
from day to day, go on clearing up here, as I tell Pup, my
days are spent in picking out fleas, and got on that low
crack level, I got here to clear up one extra bag,
left full of scraps, sacred and profane, in her room. On the
low wise-crack level, perhaps I can get her to help more,
in the house, without it being a double barrelled burden, and scenes
after and sulks in between. Anyhow, there is no use in her
present half-formed state, to be too decisive, it rebounds
on me, so I will try to form some philosophy that will preserve us
both, and D.V., when she comes in (if) will make more
practical and house-broke.

However, thank you, for everything, she loves talking to
left-wingers and all the studio stuff, and said your
mother seemed all oke, and she seems nicely settled in there. I
think P.B. was right when he implied that part of her
sulks was that she felt Audley, too, had then kicked her in
the pants.

I went Fortnums and got almost three pounds worth of
stuff; tongues, soups, biscuits of all
sorts, olives, American corn and succakhash (spelling),
trust it will come in this morning. This will lighten my
house-keeping no end, and I am carefully preserving the other
two pounds for future supplies. Thank you again, so very

V E R Y much.

Pup gave me your note, and I had the first note from
Paris. I hope you had an exciting run back to Kenwin.

Enclosed from George, I suppose he is
right about BEAUPERE, but seeing it like that - could one
be too silly using it, as a sur-name, after all it means
Father-in-law? Will you tell me. I think there is some
such name round Vaud, should it be changed? I will tell
G. I wrote you. Anyhow, it does seem a lot of trouble and
rather alarming to have that little old figment of the UNK
flung into the lime-light.

Much love and greet the VEE. I will try to
get in to Aud. one day, I am still sniffing, and told P.
to give messages. Ever with many thanks and much love, ye

Friday, Sept. 25.

Dearest Fido,

Yesterday was a horrible day, like Sirocco, dank and with
heat mixed in, one of the worst London days I have ever
experienced. Fortunately this morning, there is a cold,
cloudy mist, not with the heat. I only hope it keep so.
I
love the cold and mist but O, that sirocco. Everyone was
badd-tempered and depleated.

Enclosed from George. I better have the proofs, shall I send them
to you later or trust them to Silvia or to G., himself ? He is
apparently over-whelmed with ham. ( I mean yours as well
as the Hog. )

Had my tail torn out yesterday by the Bear who said I was
jealous in the Unk (and out) of the dear, very-dear and sweet,
O how so sweet, leetle-one. These old bald-headed gents -
I was pretty mad and had to take Alonal to work it off, but this
morning after straffing with Silvia last night, I feel better.
K. is due in, prob. the dear leetle-one will butt-in across.
However, it will have to work out- and is. The leetle-one is
SO, O how like her dear Granny.

I am reading trash and want to keep off high-brow stuff too much,
for the moment, love all your books- I mean real high-brow. S.
loved the Townsend W. book, too, and also the Capek. I will
gave Kex the Ordinary Man to-day.
I went to Harrods wine-dpt., and to their enquiry to fix

( are ) gone, Ever and ever and ever yes

up about the delivery. They sent me bill for same. I shall
pay it with pleasure, but thought you might already
have done so. Will you let me know. I told them to
look it up, but was not sure of your name there, said you
had several bills still under your "maiden name, Bryher, " and I
was not sure. Will you let me know for future reference,
which shops are "Bryher" (if any) and which Mrs. K. and
which Annie W. or W. or Mrs. A. W. ? I might as well
make a note of it.

Was so upset in the UNK by Pups hat and veil that I have been
searching for a tea-gown, dressing-gown so that when she blows in,
I may look more vampire-ish. It seems to do me good,
but have been to Harrods and Harvey and not found what I want. I think
you said Woolands was the place. Anyhow, I am being hused
into the great world of competitive vamps.

I am moving my file into my room, so there will
be no confusion later, when Pup comes, but find the dining-room
table " belongs" in the slum, so moved it back. It just requires
a little experimenting and arranging. Fruit came from
Solomon; by the way, I find their fruit very good. It may
be " second" picking, but I doubt it. It always keeps well,
in the frig., and one has not always access to barrows and
the gypsies in the alley are un-equal, somdays good, others bad.
By the way, do you know anything about the marriage ceremony of
gypsies ? It came into my ps-a.

Much love, and beseeh Vee. I am interested to hear you are
being over-run with the painters still. Much, much love, dear
Fido you are so sustaining to the UNK, and I hope your " measles" is

Sat. Sept. 26.

Dear Fido,

Enclosed. I have still on bill, "Parker vac." I can not imagine what THAT is and am again going round this morning, to see. I am quite enjoying this little flurry at Hapords, so please do not think me fussy, but I know how you feel about mistakes like this. WHAT can "Parker vac." mean ? For two pounds ? However, I will soon find out.

Kex came in, rather enervated with the weather. It is however, now raining, not pleasant but at least natural and endurable. Kex laughed much over my account of the PUP and her " you are teazing me from my mother's arms." It has taken me almost a week, to catch up to myself, and now am really beginning to see the joke of it, told the Bear yesterday who seemed somewhat surprised, remarked, "perhaps per-dita really DID feel the early separation" etc. However, Pup-called up last night, loves her motar and had the car out, almost ran into a gutter, loved it, nothing like it, has gone all out-of-doors, just the right thing for her. She is due in for tea, and I will get all details. Kex was somewhat alarmed at idea of being her make-up man, but I think he too, is amused. He does not want, not consider for a moment, being Pabst under-study and saying "Miss Palo, we are waiting." Also, says he will not get up at sex; if he is going into business, he will do business, that Pabst is a back-number and art-films are aus, and so on. But we had

a nice visit, he said he would eat morning, then discovered
my old-time Edinburgh bread and ate a pair dozen slices
with strawberry jam and thick Cornish butter. I see him
Sun., and D.V., to dinner on Tuesday. The Bear is
giving him an early hour, much to Dogs great disgust, at 10.30.
Not every day, but I imagine to pull Dog's tail...
anyway, I am quite cozy now, and going on fine. Thank you for
list of B-s in the Vaud book, yes, I will pick on one,
maybe Beaugres, but it will have to be changed, in the
poofs now, but won't cause much trouble, will it ?

Georgie seems very finicky, a good person on the job but I shudder
to think of what he will make it the pictures- however, it will
be good, I am sure, and I even fear, presentable; yes, I will
have the original 50, please.

Kex was very kind about my kitchen and as soon as I can, I am
getting him Pups key or having a new one cut, for you later, as
well... and he is having the carpenter in, himself, and
seeing to a cupboard and maybe some extra shelves. Then later,
when that is fitted, I want a curtain, it will make a real
room of the kitchen and I am very happy about it. I have real
soup now, in glass, a good Fortnum selection, so with eggs and
extras, I will be ready to feed you properly, at a minute's notice,
or at no notice at all.

Well, thank for all news, and I will let you know how Pup is and
so on. Thank you again and eternally, ever ye,

Sunday, Sept. 27.

Dear Fido,

Pup was in, very much" improved", less vamp, loves her work, and
seems keen on the dancing, too, she went to a show with
that German Nauheim(?), said it was silly, but some of the
Saint D. pupils were in the dance scene; that seemed to
amuse Pup very much.
I think Pup is up and down,
very sweet-seventeen... said she was spending to-day with
your mother.

Kex is due in after lunch with his family, for early tea; I am
consulting him about some more shelves in my room. I think much of
the trouble, when Pup was here, was having such a lot of the things
mixed, not enough room for clothes in my room, and I am trying to
concentrate on that. It will make all the difference, and what with
new shelves in the kitchen for storing soup, I won't feel the
meals so confusing either. It is just as well to have had Pup
here, to realize the limitations of time and space. I shall
not mind at all, her being here later, provided I get more shelves,
and also, with work, Pup is quite different.

Silly I bothered you with problem of Parker vac. It is YOUR pen,
very foolish of me, I thought of vacuum cleaner. That is all
settled now.

Rain. Really very cold and blank, but too much better than hot
sirocco sun at this time of year, with dust and noise.

I am simply drugging myself with chep literature, I find
it is better with theps-a, this year-
then, will be able to start
fresh and get right down to real clearance of work,
after a mentak vacation. I get old re-prints at the
Smith near the Bear, they have sort of sub-classics,
Well History of the World, Ariel in English, type of thing,
that I would not want to own, then I can hand on to S·lvia, not
as expensive as Wash (!!!) and simply like seeing film...
anyhow, that is how it is, interspected with your really
excellent library-books... am reading Silvia Thompson, an Oppie
that I can only just read, for the point of view, very
Petrie-Hart Cheltenham... one way of getting at the type of
mind that just does not attain being Phyllis Botthome!

Have you any suggestions ? I see they have Death of a Hero in
a 6d edition now. But I have scorned that ... will look up
the blurd however, later on the sly.

Much love and please forgive this non-eys sort of dope state, as the
bear is pulling my tail and I might as well have my fill of
penny-dreadfulness outside.

Ever with thanks - and WHY did you send me the cheque ? I will
think that over and digest and write and thank you properly letter,
with news of Dog.

Love to all and sundry, ever and ever, ye

Monday, Sept. 28.

Dear Fido,

Thank you for T. letter, returned, and for Lotte; last is very interesting. Will you give me her town address. I MAY send her in something, don't quite know.

I had supper with St. last night, a terribly valiant little
attempt at a rock garden, with bits of mirrors and broken-mirrors,
alone the brick wall at the back so as to reflect the sun.
She plants seedlings in egg-shells a very good idea, as they don't
tell Vee,
get washed away, then you crack out the tiny plants without disturbing
roots. She had read of it somewhere. She had masses of crocuses and
window boxes of various asters. There were the two dogs,
a bit rambunctious, and a fite. She is taking off one
week in three, to make the work last longer. She liked
Dorothy R. so very, very much. Rat was apparently very
kind to the neophite. Anyhow, it was all a bit of a trial,
but I felt I had done the right thing. She will be in one day.
I see Kex, D.V., on Tues. for dinner. He was in a very bad way
yesterday with cold, and anxious for you to go states with him.

I am afraid you are letting the Pup stand in the way. This must
NOT be. I am having cupboard built in hall for my clothes and
extras, then won't "feel" Pup so much, and it is a sort of
struggle of the KUNK, has to be settled sometime, and as I am
with the Bear this year, better let me give up the winter to the

Pup. It is apparently rather difficult as there is a
sort of lebb-clutch between pup and me, and I, as its mother,
naturally don't have the defences against her amorous
onshallugs, but it is life, and a better settle it for
myself. I think, too, the driving is going to take a lot
out of her, and things won't be so difficult. She was, as I
told you, much more manageable the last time.

in Graustark, or wherever? It is true... and terribly funny, but
those old Queens must have pervaided the UNKS of the Balkin
young to an extent unparallelled by any secret-service on the
part of the Kaiser... a very funny side-light on Angleterre
altogether. "maybe Marina marrid George because of our Hull.

Silly it rains, cold here
now, Gott sei dank. I will write news of Pup and Dog.

Keep well, hope the measles passed off nicely. Best to all
and sundry, ever ye
