2 May 1912

I shall get in King’s Cross tomorrow at 1:25. Will that do? You see I couldn’t come today because I was waiting for the laundry and for some stuff from the tailor’s. I had prepared for Friday, but Thursday was impossible. I am sorry if it makes things tiresome.

Will you meet me, or let somebody meet me, at King’s Cross? Or else wire me very early, what to do. It is harassing to be as we are.

I have worried endlessly over you. Is that an insult? But I shan’t get an easy breath till I see you. This time tomorrow, exactly, I shall be in London.

I hope you’ve got some money for yourself. I can muster only eleven pounds. A chap owes me twenty-five quid, but is in such a fix himself, I daren’t bother him. At any rate, eleven pounds will take us to Metz, then I must rack my poor brains.

Oh Lord, I must say “making history,” as Garnett puts it, isn’t the most comfortable thing on earth. If I knew how things stood with you, I wouldn’t care a damn. As it is, I eat my blessed heart out.

Till tomorrow, till tomorrow, till tomorrow (I nearly put à demain).

D. H. Lawrence

P.S. I haven’t told anything to anybody. Lord, but I wonder how you are.
