Lido,

Darling Johnnie,
In great haste as ever. Am sending various oddments so that I needn’t remember to bring them. Fawley’s pyjamas will follow with next consignment, so console him if he needs them urgently. Shall probably send a cake, which you needn’t eat up till I come, if your not starving!
Went to see Bethhune today, baby seems to be alright, he could feel it’s head & back – isn’t it marvellous! Said Bunell seems a good doctor, he looked him up in the medical register.
Have arranged about transfer of cheap milk scheme, also notified change
