August 25 Tuesday – In Guildford, England Sam wrote to Livy:

Livy darling, your cablegram came yesterday [not extant] asking after my health. I was unspeakably glad to get it, for it swept away a fast-gnawing burden of apprehension concerning your own state; I judged that its inner meaning was a message to me to say “Do not be uneasy about me.”

I meant to write you a line yesterday but we were house-hunting; & my heart was too heavy to write. …

I will not write more now, Mr. Smythe is waiting; we are going to Godalming to look at a house. I love you with all my heart, my darling. /Saml [LLMT 323-4].
