Dear Emil,
We have been here for the past 10 days, Schorlemmer, Pumps,
BABY and I, and the fact that I haven’t got round to replying to you
until today can be blamed on the sweet indolence of a seaside resort…
….Well, that’s enough for today. The table is about to be laid. Other-
wise things are going very well here; the fine weather, Pilsener beer,
sea air and sea-bathing have quite driven away the gastric catarrh
I had on the Monday of your departure. Pumps and Schorlemmer
send you their best wishes.
