Kelowna, B. C.
My dearest Kathleen,
As I leave here next Thursday I will just send you a short letter so that you may expect me. I may possibly get a Cunard boat from New York on April 1st or else I shall come by the “Cedric” leaving on the 3rd; but with any luck, seeing that I get to Montreal on the evening on the 30th and can get to New York by the following morning, I ought to get away in some boat or other before the 3rd. If I get a Cunarder I will write from Queenstown, but I don’t think the other boats call in there. Just think of it, no more letters to write. Won’t that save you a lot of trouble? I am staying with the Mallams now. They have “Quand l’Amour Meurt” and “Caressante” on the pianola now. I hadn’t heard them for a long time and it made me want to dance worse than ever. I am so looking forward to seeing you that I keep forgetting about the dance and all the other things that one usually looks forward to so much.
I had a very nice letter [Kathleen–March 2, 1909] from you last week. I like to hear that you’re looking forward to my return even though I ought to know that already without being told.
With all my love,
Yours as always,
Robin
