95 Sloane Street Monday Dearest Father. It's a shocking affair that I am writing to you on your birthday instead of on the day before, but I hope you will overlook it for once and accept my very hearty felicitations! There[?] are no days but I with you may have a happy return of them, birthdays and all others.
I've written to Mother some gossip that will amuse you a little, otherwise I have no news today.

I'm just going to dine with Fritz, who I expect, will be all agog. Ever dearest Belloved Father your very affectionate daughter Gertrude

What do you think of my puppies' noses?
