TRANSCRIPT:
Pixton Park, Dulverton
Nov 16th 1916
Darling just a line as we’ve only this instant come in from a long pony cart expedition (5 P.M.) Its icy here but the woods are too lovely. Thank you ever so much for your letter which has this instant come. I’m so wretched for you over yr strikes, but I expect a way out must be found. Dont forget we long for news of Bron the very instant you hear.
What about the food Dictator {1} is it to be Winston, I hope so. What are you doing tomorrow night.
Please forgive this its worse than your very worst.
Much love
V
