Saturday night / dinner over and now I have / come to write a little line - so tired I / have so little to say - only this occurs / to me, which you may agree with - / [pen & ink drawing of an owl on a wire, looking down] / do yo agree? Oh its nice to feel / tired physically, and sleepy as I / do now - not tired in heart & brain / as has been my lot this many a / day - a delicious rest of heart has / come - such as I have never known / and I lie in it and fling myself / back into it feel safe at / last - so safe. / in a minute or two I shall go to bed / drowsy, stupid, with the final sense / [pen & ink drawing of an owl] / of deep happy rest I have had for / many & many & many a long year. / [pen & ink drawing of an owl on a wire looking down] / funny that I can draw when I am / so tired I cant write a line - isnt / it? so easy & sweet it feels to / draw - & impossible to make letters / [pen & ink back view of an owl on a wire with *] / * this is a back view - though Colvia says / it isnt - but I know. / Oh I am so sleepy & silly - but / I cant leave you and must go on - / tomorrow you shall have a sensibler / page to read / tonight is hopeless / & yet deep down how full I am / of things to say. / there - goodnight - best of all / [pen & ink drawing of an owl] / earthly things - pen won't make one / more stroke / [pen & ink drawing of an owl asleep in bed] / Sunday / [on Rottingdean headed notepaper] / & now I have / my wits about me - hours of sleep / - woke up by the bright sun - lay / long & wondered how on earth / / ?papa could manage to / sleep in my little bed - & what / he did with his l-gs - / did he have his feet over the / board at the end of the bed / - which I have tried on hot/ nights & found painful - or / did he coil up - no, there / is no coil in him I am / sure - nevermind, I'll / ask him one day - & / meantime it must remain a / mystery / here, if only to pass through the / rooms once & glorify them - so that / I could remember it ever after - / it will never be nice to me till that / has been - next week you couldn't come? No , you have so much / travelling, you shall have no / more - I will go up to town to / you the first hour you will / let me. I had a word from / Olive yesterday written at Much ? - & / Amy is quite well - no it must / have been written at B? / for they were just going to the first / Parsifal performance - and I / want that for you, as well as / Holland House and ? Gifford - / and now I will go & draw Chaucer - for you want it done / - & that makes all things easy for me if you want them - / always & / always & / forever / E.
