"Pleased to hear you were sad at parting. Your feelings were heartily reciprocated by L. Good & myself. I saw him again at Dakar & we consoled with each other. Never mind we will hope on for the pleasure of another visit to Capetown."
"Glad to hear that Nannie is also well & thinks of me occasionally. My love to her - You see I am still cheeky"
"Many thanks, Daisy, for all of your good wishes ... my love to you (It also is a harmless variety so please accept it)."
