To Sallypoo<\/i><\/p>\n
sometimes alone, sometimes sad, always clever <\/i><\/p>\n
always funny, fabulously feline <\/i><\/p>\n
unique and a love<\/i><\/p>\n
Today I went into the village and purchased a sad old panda with one eye for Chester. I also purchased the latest work from Mr Huxley from the bookshop. The assistant informed me that it was the last copy in stock.<\/p>\n
Our clock has sadly stopped at a quarter to ten. I fear that Ralph has overwound the poor thing. He does tend to treat anything mechanical like his car which I am surprised runs at all.<\/p>\n
I adored the poem that you sent to me and I have enclosed it in my album of postcards. When Ralph was at the parish meeting on Thursday evening I stole a look at my postcards.<\/p>\n
Some are from you with views from the different countries you have visited and the other women you have known. Others were from Ralph’s army pals.<\/p>\n
I also have a number of postcards from dear Miss Storrington.<\/p>\n
I do miss her so and the stories she used to tell about her adventures at Radcliffe Hall with Harvey and Lester.<\/p>\n
We are all very excited about your visit next week. Ralph is clearing the spare room out as I write.<\/p>\n
This is where he will sleep during your stay and he is making himself quite at home with newspapers all over the floor and his pipe rack on the table.<\/p>\n
I have already booked tea at the cabbage museum and afterwards I thought we might walk along the Teeming Road and visit The Gravediggers Arms for a sherry.<\/p>\n
Do wear your red floral dress as I think that you look quite splendid when you alight from the train at the Quakers Railway Station.<\/p>\n
The weather I think will be fine<\/p>\n
I will bring you bunch of your favourite flowers freshly picked by Ralph and Chester.<\/p>\n
I must run now as the village post goes at a quarter to five and it half past four already.<\/p>\n
Do travel safely and sit near the buffet.<\/p>\n
Love<\/p>\n
The Roughest Girl in the School <\/i><\/p>\n

The dedication to Sallypoo was found by the author in a 1959 edition of Dylan Thomas\u2019s Collected Poems. The rest is his fiction. <\/i><\/p>\n
