Lido, Tuesday 2/9
Johnny darling, I apologise most humbly for the accident to your flash – it got into the boil somehow & now looks pretty sick. I only hope you perhaps won't be wearing them much longer? As for the tie, Mrs S seized it & decided it must be repaired, & spent about 3 hours making one tie out of the good parts of your two old ones. I do hope it is wearable now & that the join doesn't show too much. Let me know if its hopeless & I will try to get you another.
With lots of love – longing for you as ever, Ursula
