2 Turner Drive, N.W.11. - He and [his wife] José have just come back from a fortnight at Grindelwald; 'delighted' to find Bob's "Windfalls" on their return. Glad that Bob has included 'such lovely things' as his essays on solitariness and the Wallington Ponds. They will much enjoy reading aloud from the book, a 'pastime... learned from the Shiffolds'. The weather in Switzerland was 'wretched', but they still managed two twenty mile walks and climbed the Faulhorn on the 'few glorious days'; the food and change of scene helped José get over her appendicitis and complications, and she has 'now caught the travelling bug' as he knew she would; he 'must try to get her to Italy'. They are currently busy as José's sister is getting married on Saturday; he has had to 'make up for arrears of weeding in [his] vegetable allotment'. Sends love to Bessie; wishes Bob could have done the walks in Switzerland with them.
