Text of Letter

20.7.15

Your letter came tonight after your pc from A.  It was such a joy to get it and I loved reading all about your life on board and the last part of the letter written in pencil especially pleased me.  I don’t worry except now and then – as you say – it is wrong to worry when perhaps in the end all will be well.

Look out for a letter soon.

Much love from

M.
