Dearest Darling,

I got your letter today from Paris and have also received auntie’s letter from Frankfurt with your note. Ever since you left Milano I was nervy and jumpy since I didn’t know where you were or what you were doing, and for this reason I haven’t written before. Now at least I know an address and will try to catch up with news. It seems so strange to think that you were in Germany and saw all the old familiar places. I wish I could have been with you Poiky. I have been reading letters from and about you a hundred times at least and I still feel there is so much more I should like to know. But perhaps that is unfair on you. The only thing is that as one experience supersedes another, the first are bound to recede in your mind and you will omit a lot of commonplace things which would nevertheless be tremendously interesting to me. How did the Schmidts look? I am really glad you got on well together and auntie wrote to say (unintelligible – part of page missing – but this is the gist from * to *) *how very much they had liked you and that you had parted on very good terms. Why didn’t you stay a bit longer? I was happy to hear that the grave is well tended. Thank you for saying the prayers darling …and I miss you beyond all reason* so do the kids, especially Liki, who is pestering me every day with questions as to her daddy’s whereabouts and when, oh when is he coming to look at Racheliki. Meanwhile you have had another reunion with Ma’am etc. and I am sure you were as warmly received there as you have been everywhere else. I am absolutely longing for all your news. Your father thinks you should have gone to Paris without Wechsler. Maybe he is right as the chap there would have given you a hell of a good time and you would have learned a lot as well. But maybe you think differently. In some ways I expect you are sorry to have to leave London again because it seemed like journey’s end, didn’t it? On the other hand you have a lot of old friends in Paris and seeing them again will be interesting for you. Is there any hope for business, darling? I do hope you will succeed in doing something. It’s good for the morale!

Did you remember whom all the presents were intended for and did you receive the 4 snaps? Those little dishes I wanted you to give to the Ullmanns, the Henschels and to Hazel. Darling I simply must know what it was like to see London again. Was it very exciting or did you feel as though you hadn’t been away at all? Have you seen a lot of people? I had a letter from Anne today and she tells me that (unintelligible) had a miscarriage. I am really sorry about it. Apparently it happened after a bad attack of ‘flu. 

The baby has woken up again. I am afraid he isn’t feeling well tonight. For this reason I shall stop now but will write you more fully tomorrow – about the Kauffmanns and all the local news and naturally all about the kids. Sleep well, darling, and remember me kindly.

We all hug and love you,

Bossy.
