51, Hyde Park Mansions, N.W.1. - Molly's operation [on a kidney] has made him think a lot of Bessie, who similarly has suffered from a 'tormenting infirmity' which required surgery. Hopes that her operation went well and better eyesight will follow; Molly is recovering but the long-term results are still uncertain. Is looking forward to Bob's visit on Tuesday: they 'help each other to enjoy the hour', share so much of their past, and can be 'as silly as [they] like'. He also appreciates Bob's work; it is a 'delicious treat' to make him happy, and what he gives he has also received.
