"St. Brelade, Jersey.

Dear A --

First of all, thank you very much indeed for the cream you kindly sent

to me whilst on your holiday. It was most enjoyable. Do hope you had a nice

time. As you will see, I have been staying in Jersey this year, but I have had a

lot of trouble with skin infection of some sort to my hands since Easter & it is

now believed to have been caused by plants which I have had at the office: 

Primula allergy & have been attending hospital here. What a life! Hope you

are well. Love from D."
