My dear John,

really you take my breath away. Twice ten Gwas! How could you? You may rest assured that sum will not be misspent. I don't know if life is going to be as gay as it was, but there must be scope for the quiet pleasures that friends can share in one another's houses, & you & Susie will always be welcome in ours. We are starting in Car Kinross's house 3 Ainslie Place for the summer & are going to look about for a suitable home into which we can go in the autumn. The Rasher

is going to marry us. I dug him out at the Deanery at Carlisle yesterday & had a buck lunch from him. He has got an uncommon nice wife. She can type-write those massive letters to the Times. Talking of the Times look at tomorrow's (Wednesday)

Best love to Susie

You are a pair of trumps. Love also to Mr John, & Alice. I doubt if Billy boy wd be the wiser for reminder or the littlest of all

Yours ever

Stair A Gillon

P.S. Good luck to you in your search for the country house
