Dear Miss Blue,

I have read your dear letter and I am so relieved that you are feeling better. Staying in bed is the glorious medicine for all wretchedness. And the homemade soup - were you thinking ahead or did you bravely make the soup whilst sicker than a dog? I have colored thirteen eggs for the white metal tree stand I bought years ago at that wonderful florist in the Conservatory. A terrible waste of beautiful architecture when it was taken down, all for what I don't remember. Anyway, the owners were a young team. They owned two absolutely elegant afghan hounds, lounging among the flowers and gift items including the egg tree stand.

Love,
Pearl
