Heyer, Georgette, 1902-1974

"I think that either you are cleverer know you know at conceiling your worries, or that I am an imperceptive woman, for I had no suspicion that anything was on your mind..."

"Herewith the last corrections, and on a seperate sheet there[?] alterations to be made in the third batch..."
