We have just managed to obtain a copy of E. M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady, in an edition published by Macmillan in 1942, a good clean copy, price $2.00. We are sending it off to you today by Book Post with invoice enclosed.

Dear Helene,

It was good to hear from you again. Yes, we're still here, getting older and busier but no richer.

We had a very pleasant summer with more than the usual number of tourists, including hordes of young people making the pilgrimage to Carnaby Street. We watch it all from a safe distance, though I must say I rather like the Beatles. If the fans just wouldn't scream so.

Frank

Nora and the girls send their love,
