My dearest Sylvia:

How strange and how delightful that our letters,
both written on the 25th at 11 o'clock, should pass
in the post. I am so glad that you are happy a-
part from and because of me, as you say only in better
English in your letter, and in very large measure
I agree with you. I shall try and put this para-
dox into verse. I think it is desireable to come to
terms with the situation as you have done - though it
is not easy for me, as I am not assisted by my back-
ground. But what you say is true - it is true for
me: after all I do not bite my nails as soon as we
separate and we both have each other's love even sep-
arated. I cannot say how much this means to me;
but you know, darling.

My Sylvia is now the marmalade cat through your in-
dustry is not entirely feline. I feel that right
back in your cat-ancestry there is a slight impurity -
possibly of human stock? I suggest this very tenta-
tively but the vast quantity of marmalade does speak
for itself. I'm looking forward to tasting in: as
you Dandylions are not averse to it at Breakfast.

Again you quote Clifford as saying we are lucky to
see each other only occasionally. But how would he
like to have half a Rectory, half Leon Bloy's works,
a spoonful of brandy and not a cellar full. Would
you rather have Holkham or a bungalow. How splendid,
following Clifford's reasoning, if only Gothic England
were to be published by Penguin Books. Of course fewer
illustrations and the appendices are omitted but it fits
the pocket so well. Batsford would soon be bankrupt.
Holkham be partitioned for two hundred families from the
Gorbels, and so on. And with a Digest you save time
and don't get that distressing sense of living with an
author which occurs if you read his book IN THE ORIGINAL.
Sylvia I love you and the rest of my life would not be too long.

I leave you to decide when I am to come. Would it
be worth waiting till you know if you will be well on
what date before finally deciding. But, no. I want
to see you soon. And then you are going to Italy. No,
you tell me when you think and I'll book on the coach
for that day. 15th, 17th, any of these, any other, fits
me perfectly well.

How strange and how delightful that our letters, both written on the 25th at 11 o'clock, should pass in the post. I am so glad that you are happy apart from and because of me, as you say only in better English in your letter, and in very large measure I agree with you.
