Lido Friday 5 September
I enclose the card which Nancy & David Blaikley are putting about of the birth of their baby – rather ingenious, isn't it? Tho' the stork looks very evil to me. I don't know if Ardath cigarettes are smokable, but beggars can't be choosers. If you still can't taste it won't matter or they'll do to offer to others.
Yours always, Ursula.
