Summary
Opening "Can't write on account of being one-eyed"; describing Merchant laughing "when he saw me all bandaged up!"; adding that their dog Nixi is also bandaged up-- "he has had his ear cut open & has a big white bandage round his head and looks rather benign"; commenting on an advertisement for "The Guru" mocked up by Fox, which she hates; closing "Can't write any more-- everything is tilted -- also awful-- these are bad days but they will pass."
