Blaess starts her letter by mentioning - again- the post office and their delay. Dilys send her thanks for recipes they have sent. Blaess spent the weekend at her aunt's. Berthe is very poorly and sick, and keeps reliving memories. She really finds her aunt annoying, the latter keeps criticizing her, saying her voice is not nice and she should take lassons,a bout her singing (but doesn't say anything about other people's voice). On Sunday afternoon, she went to the opera and tells her parents she will bring them to the opera when the war is over. She can't wait for her thesis to be printed - that way, she will be able to relax and have fun. She thought she would be able to this year, but feels really bad when she is not working. She found the ballet amazing and wishes she could dance. She met Ruth Stratford and her friend at the library and showed them around. Blaess thinks they look really young. She mentions men her age in her class and other English acquaintances. Ruth and her friend complained to Blaess about Norah, finding her boring etc. Norah complained to Blaess about her sister, saying she didn't work enough etc, and got mad when reminded that she did the same when she first arrived in France. Norah got mad and said it wasn't similar or comparable and she and her sister weren't the same. Blaess finds Ruth and Barbara (her friend) very sweet and nice. Norah asks lots of questions about Blaess' whereabouts since the last time they saw each other but she wouldn't answer and tells her parents this isn't her business. The commander introduced Blaess to his other son, she finds him really small and young-looking and says she wouldn't be able to obey a man like this (he is a year older than her). She says she was shocked by the relationship between the commander and his son, very stern, not fun. She is very thankful for her father, funny and not too serious. She then writes a paragraph about spring, the parks, the flowers. The postscript is about Cohen, her plans for subsistence after the thesis, and Vendryès that compliment her on her Gaelic/Celtic and philology level (she thought it was bad).
