[26 August 1944]
Cordelia my Sweet!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
It would really be better in the long run if you pulled me up sharp] when I make such an extra special ass of myself; I don’t deserve your mercy, and when I find it out it’s double shame being alone.
Need I say that I’m calling about the suit? "6 1/2 yards is not quite enough" was [illegible] with 24” or 27” I think. So we have plenty, plenty; enough to [illegible] a deerstalker cap, perhaps. Then I clean forgot about lining. Such material deserves the finest silk; but it will have to be fairly solid with such soft material. A twill or brocade-like a Chanset dressing-gown., perhaps. Very gorgeous, but it mustn’t [illegible] with the cloth. No ghost of a [illegible] about the length.
Did I say I would like 8 oz of the 90% Alcohol and 8 oz Surgical Spirit? When we get together properly and have our own lab., we can make a liqueur to match Absinthe and [illegible] sideways. I have ideas, you know.
Love is the law, lover under will.
Till Thursday.
Yours,
A.C.
