My dear Sonja, I got your letter last night. I was very glad for it, Yes my dear Sonja I have been too anxious about what is to come, Rilke is certainly very good. There is a book here of some of his poems. I have only turned the pages and not yet read him. Last Monday was such a wonderful day for us. Our “present” of 30 minutes a fortnight is most of the time a past and a future. It seems one is always thinking of visits past and future. The contact of our hands was charged with so much good strong feeling that are wonders how human beings can be so great.

Now my dear dont forget to bring me a towel in the next parcel. I have used none with me. I see again that you are sending me too much food. Don't do it Sonja because I have too much hereand I don't eat much so that I have to give it away. 

Look after yourself Beloved. I am looking to Monday. Ernest.

P.S. Thanks very much for the flower it is growing!
