Scope and content
Discusses the photograph of Alison Cairns that David sent her. Recalls a holiday spent with Alison Cairns in Italy. Reports that she is taking a cure at the Kurhaus Cademario to prepare for a strenous summer when she will have to prepare an International Executive Committee for her organisation. Empathises with David's experience of ordering Alison's affairs after her death. Anticipates Lyn Newman's book about Alison Cairns, believing it will be a fitting companion volume to 'So much love, so little money'. Declares that she kept every letter Alison ever sent her.
