How marvellous that you're going to stay the night at Fern Hill; it all ought to be so so easy given some luck & we must hurry over our golf!! I wld like to ask Duddie to dine on return to London but perhaps that would make me late sweetheart & I couldn't stand that!!' He concludes his letter 'How madly & desperately I'm loving & loving & adoring you tonight angel angel. How sad & depressed your very own devoted little David is not to have seen you!!'
