"My very dear one. It was a wonderful thing to get a gloriously fat letter from you last night. Being here without you & hearing nothing was becoming wearisome... There is a good deal of fuss going on about Winston's meeting in Belfast... You will be interested in Massingham's article on E.G. which I have not yet read."

"Darling - Such an absurd expedition - in a small painted boat down the Anapo river - being towed by a boy on the bank... We went on to the town where the Consul & the local Salinas took us over the Museum - a dismal collection of urns & coins... Venetia & I & Montagu rambled about the town a little - it is very odd & attractive full of narrow little alleys..."
