Sweetheart,
Once more just a note in the hope it will reach you before I do. We arrived here about 11 this morning and are favourably impressed by this place so far. One reason, probably, is that we have seen it in very good conditions for the day has been perfect. All of which is a big help.
We thought at one stage that we would be able to get away today. But it was not to be and we are hoping to get away tomorrow. That, I’m afraid, is all I can tell you at the moment. I simply can’t write more just now because the hut is in uproar with people sorting their gear out and trying to get the stove working. All I can say is that we hope to be on leave about noon, Tuesday, and I’ll wire you. Hope you are much better, love. All my love, sweet.
Ever your own,
Arthur X
