Summary
Saying "Past 3 Bridges - but there are none between me & my Boy. Every one has the influenza & there is an east wind. The one topic of conversation is the murder. But there are 4 angels round my bed - one in each corner - & one an elderly male angel - not too strong!! He wears spectacles; if he turned Restive, I could dash these inward. The sky is light-some & pleasant. / Eastbourne Here I have seen a sea-mew with Henry! Here are the downs that have made themselves even as little waves - / [here Bradley has written the Greek word for Sea] / O Henry!"
