Brixton Prison
9th March 1912
Dearest
Thank you for sending me news that you are getting on all right, I hope by this time you have had your letters, this is the third I have written to you {1}. I am very well indeed & feel sure when you see me on Thursday you will think so too. I had a very pleasant visit from Duval yesterday aft[er]noon and from Evelyn Sharp this morning.
I have just started learning Italian, I have not got far enough yet to be able to say how I like it. I thought when I came here I should get through an immense mass of reading, but somehow there are so many things which take up time, that I do very little & of that a good deal goes in reading the newspapers.
We had a hymn practice this morning in chapel which I thought was good; some of the hymns & tunes were inspiring & refreshing.
I had my second exercise indoors yesterday afternoon as it was wet but today is lovely and I expect we shall get both outside.
It will be jolly to see you on Thursday {2} but mind! you have got to look as well as I do!
your loving
Husband.
