15 March

My dear sweet Ernest has written to tell me not to worry my pretty little head about his troubles, his nature or what is in his knickers. He certainly has calmed my fears. He says he merely overindulges a little because he so much enjoys the pleasures of London. He feels there is no doubt at all that our marriage will have a most *soothing* and pleasant effect upon him, and he is most desperately excited to show me all around London as soon as he can. He hopes to meet me very soon. Oh dear, I love him so very much!
