Letter from Evelyn Waugh to Alec Waugh ~ 1936

Dear Alex,

     Many thanks for your letter of congratulation.

     I look forward greatly to bringing Laura to see you when next all three of us are in London together.  She is thin & silent, long nose, no literary ambitions, temperate but not very industrious.  I think she will suit me o.k. and I am very keen on her.  Wedding probably in February in the country.  Joan is very kindly standing me the honeymoon.  Busy looking at houses which I find very pleasant indeed.  Have found a lovely one but don't know if I can get hold of it.

Regards to your children,
Evelyn
