26th June—

My dear Fred

Your letter was received with great rejoicing. I congratulate you with all my heart. The old man will do so on his own account.

If you have any more money for us please pay it in, (we have altogether had £300) we have not run out but much fear being left at the mercy of an accident in this quarter of the world.

Willi is certainly better. We have done a great deal of sailing & driving which he has thoroughly enjoyed. He is very happy & the sun has quite spoilt his beautiful complexion

Ever Yours
Lucy
