"The photograph is absolutely wonderful & the dress looks a dream & oh how I wish I could see you whirling on in that tiny hurricane.
"I am having a lovely rich success at the Cafe de Paris & I got a beautiful laugh at the opening night by whispering 'Hullo' muskily through the mike & kicking an invisible cloak! I also leant against the piano with that imperious look & they cheered like anything. . . .
". . . Kindly keep a lamp burning in the window . . . Love love love love love."
