2nd. Aug. '83 / Dearest Jules, I do so hope you are well and happy. Have you been enjoying our immoderate sun? (Or have you gone to meet it somewhere abroad?) I am desolate that we never seem, these days, able to achieve more than a very minimum of brief encounters - if, indeed, as much as that, the score this year being nil... (written in black ink, recto)
