Coddaire writes from England, he just recieved Olive's letters from the 9th and 10th of October, and says he is sorry for not telling her something sooner, and that he wasn't aware of how worried it made her. He mentions the food and how everywhere by him is upper crust and small portions. He finishes by saying that he plans for their next anniversary to be spent together.
