_________________________________________________

 

Dear Twinka, who thinks so diligently of your friends, what a joy to eat fresh fish! And we look forward to lunching with you on Saturday. The tins of peaches are here. I hasten to tell you that there has been a change in my leg pain. Yesterday it was dreadful, but accidentally. This morning something has definitely changed . If the improvement were confirmed, would Titan be able to take you all the way to Neuilly? No, I think Soulié de Morant would come to your house, because of his staircase. I kiss you, dearest Twinka, and I am having lunch in your honor, and so is Maurice, who is at your feet. Colette.”
