Dear Mary1

I can’t say 1 hundredth part of how pleased we are to be here.  It is a valor perfection house Ralph says.  He went about saying “I shall write here” only to discover another place & to say again “I shall write here” & he is writing.
We do love the garden following the lines of the lane – & the hedgerow trees & the house from every aspect.
Mrs Miles is most forbearing & kind
We lack nothing but sun –
Yr grateful

AMVW.
