Office of Cabinet Delegation, The Viceroy’s House, New Delhi
June 15. 46.
My dear.
I have just had two delightful & interesting letters from you written on June 7 & 12 {1}. Is it nt wonderful how quickly they come?
Of course I shall look forward intensely to your meeting me on arrival in London. When tht will be I still do nt at all know.
When I got your letter yesterday & wrote off to you in a hurry I had got the impression you meant to put off your trip to I W without waiting to learn my dates. But I gather from yours of 12th tht you have now got my explanatory letter & use your judgment with regard to I W along the lines I suggested. Of course I am quite confident you will make a wise decision & am only sorry my plans may make a change in yours necessary.
At the moment it seems scarcely likely tht I shall be home much if at all before the end of June, but I live in hope.
A stupid little mistake of ours in causing us endless trouble & may even wreck the whole scheme. You know how particularly annoying such things are. But even tht hasn’t got me down, & really when you come to think of it it is really rather wonderful tht we havent made more mis-takes, isn’t it?
The enclosed cartoon will amuse you. Show it to others. {2}
My dear I love you so very much.
Boy.
I am hoping to play billiards tonight with Alexander.
