I don't care about what is 'better', for however many resolutions one makes, one's pen, like water, always finds its own level, and one can't write in any way other than one's own.

I'm longing for an adventure, dearest Creature. But would like to stipulate for at least 48 1/2 minutes alone with you. Not to say or do anything in particular. Mere affection-- to the memory of the porpoise in the pink window.

I found a nice, nice letter here from you-- at least, it was so nice in parts that I think my ally Potto must have held your hand.
Your very very loving

My dear Virginia
Do you ever mean what you say, or say what you mean? Or do you just enjoy baffling the people who try to creep a little nearer?

Darling I do feel so worried about you; are you all aches and miseries? have you recovered?
Your very very loving and concerned

Certainly Tuesday night. Shall expect you between tea and dinner: Potto all a quiver on the look out.

Darling, I like solitude, that's what I like-- now do you think my poem on the subject will suffer or improve from my being thus forcibly deprived of it?

You could have stayed on for at least a week- banked up with hot water bottles- and your Towser trotting in and out- sorry about the 'flu- but happy to have you to look after.
