and I will instruct
my mother to let
you know at once if I
telegraph next week.
My own dear, what I
should chiefly wish for
if I were subject to
wishfulness (to which
I might have to confess if
I were entirely truthful)
would be that I could
talk with you when I
come to a change of
service next week in
Paris - talk over
things with you
as we talked last
April. Do not think
me fool hardy if I
deliberately choose a
more strenuous service.
