Sat. 23.5.42.
Darling,Ann has arrived & brought a lovely bunch of flowers from Pitairlie garden. Dudley popped in this morning - for about 2 hours while I was busy trying to cook! Ann, Frances & I are now going out shopping - she has seen Dumbo so we shan't be going there this evening & it's too chilly for swimming.
Thanks ever so for your first letter. I hadn't noticed that you were feeling so
[page break]
very depressed on Thursday you certainly put a good face on it, & I was not too cheerful myself. It's almost a relief when the parting is over.
Bish rang last night to say he won't go to Nat. Gallery next Monday as Ba had suggested. I told him I wasn't too pleased with him on Tuesday.
Must hurry off now, Ann & I will both write again tomorrow.
All my love Ursula.
