bit too soon so they went off without dropping any bombs, much to our disappointment. I had a ripping time at Malta. I got to know some nice people who took me out riding a lot. We went to start off at about nine in the morning and got back at seven in the evening. I had a comic boy pony that pulled like anything and bucked continually. It did me no end of good, but only having my left hand available I got somewhat tired of the pulling.
I sent you a lace scarf, it made, I think, in four pieces so that you can separate them for other things, if you like. The other stuff is being made, I hope it will turn out alright. It is cotton as I am told that insertion & motifs should not be silk. Kut Al Amara is a black affair. I expected it but did not think that they would hold out as long as they did.
Best love & luck, Yours ever Jack Codrington.
