Dear Michael & Eslyn,
This is from us both. It was nice to have your letter to welcome us home. We have had a good time in USA, but are very glad to be home again, and back at work – I hope.
We are going to Troilus1 next week, the libretto is good. I know nothing about the music yet.
The cats were most affectionate,
Love to you both from us both,
from Uncle Ralph2
