Many thanks for letter from Mary Danby. I'm toying with the idea of sending her my 'waxwork' horror story, rejected by H. van Thal. It's certainly horrific. Expect 'Pan' will say the same as 'Fontana', but always worth trying. Beautiful, huge green dragonfly in garden yesterday.

You must forgive me for not writing for so long, but I just wanted to be on my own for a couple of years or so.

Dear sir, The answer in Yesterday's Sunday Times to Brain Teaser 1111 was given as 8486. My answer which I sent to you by postcard was 6212 which I believe also to be correct since 6212 → 6 x 2 = 12 2126 → 2 x 6 = 12 I would be grateful for your confirmation.

It is so healing here; the rock is like the womb of the Earth, soaking up and lifting away pain and worry. I love you.
