My darling Anne,
Yes, Im back until the end of August - just looking back, as it were. I have been longing to see you. But chère the bother is Im not up to coming to tea and dinner. I cant go anywhere except by car - & I simply can't afford cars for long times. So, as a rule, Im stranded on my hill top & have to ask people to come to me. This is a great curse - but there you are. Im much better but no good at all at walking or taking public conveyances. In that case would you and Drey come & see me? As for that blessed infant I can't expect him - the darling. What would be too lovely for words would be if you'd come to tea with me & Drey come onto dine on May 31st. Or if you'd rather just come to dinner or if YOU would come to tea. Whatever suits you. I should love to see you, my dar¬ling Anne. And I want to ask you if you & your baby wouldn't care to come out to me next winter in the South for a while. I was always thinking it over. Theres so much I'd like to talk about & to hear about. Tell the precious one how sorry I am I cant come & see him in his bye. And fondest, tenderest love.
Ever your Katherine [To Anne Drey in Collected Letters]
