My dear Colonel Forgive me for not answering your letter. I have been travelling about and have only just got to Paris and found your letter waiting for me. Thank you so much for the books - which I hope I shall find safe on my return to London

I have not forgotten the sketch I promised to do for you - it shall be done

with all good wishes

Ever yours
