start. He called for me yesterday, and 

seemed to recognize me x[?]/<q>uite well.

This morning he took a turn for 

the better; became quite conscious, 

and absolutely insisted on being 

shaved. And was! And he has 

been much better since, though very 

far from out of danger. 

          I shall be oh, so glad to be 

home again. I long for it 

now and am very tired. Too 

tired to write more. 

          Please if you are in London 

do all you can for Mrs. 

Davies. I wrote to you about 

her exhibition in my last 

letter. 

          Best love to all at home

                                Your own

                                        Alan
