We are having rains of *absolutely Biblical* proportions! I fear I shall never see my darling Peter again! I know that despair is meant to be a sin, but really it must be the most delightful sin of them all! Peter has no doubt been *prevented* from sending me a note. Poor boy. I hope he will live. I *do* love his *name.* I think Peter must be the most charming name a man could ever have. Stately yet approachable. There is something in that name that seems to inspire absolute devotion. It has such music to it. Anyone would have to admit Peter is a name which absolutely thrills!
