Dear Father, Have been expecting a letter from you every day, but nothing turned up yet. Percy told me you were a little better and I am pleased with that good news. All goes well. I shall be over for 14 days leave next week and shall be pleased to see you again. Don’t look forward too much because it might not come off. I visited Versailles Sunday 11th and saw several of the German delegates. Lovely place. Love from H. I am keeping well.
