Delano, in full: "It must be grand to have a litter. It gets you out of bed. I always thought that one baby put you in bed! This 'flu' is Hell, as you know. I am not over mine yet, but I do hope to get up to Hyde Park around the twenty-second for five or six days. Don't tell anyone—and try to be there yourself." In fine condition.
