I am in new york for a few days

& would very much like to see you

it is so warm & beautiful here

the park is lovely with the leaves just out

 

saturday evening     can you come

it is so warm & beautiful here

the park is lovely with the leaves just out

I would very much like to see you

 

so sorry to have missed you saturday evening

I saw a tall man wandering

up & down                           outside

it was raining very hard

 

will you come again monday

I am sometimes free after tea

of course if it is a bad day

you will not expect me

 

I think I told you

I cannot

this week & next

I cannot possibly

 

I had a very alarming dream

it was raining very hard

a tall man tried to throw me down a cliff or something

I am quite frozen

 

you must see how deeply                     I regret

the park was so lovely with the leaves just out
