The rumours of Christo's engagement are quite true. The formal engagement is to take place on Tuesday. He is in a great flurry about it all, but is nevertheless doing his duty by us, doing it as well as anyone could possibly desire.
Miss Taylor is coming through tomorrow, and I have asked her to lunch. Georkos (the foreman) was here the other day, and was delighted at our progress.

I shall see to the placing of the stakes you asked for. Thank you for the plans.
Sincerely, Peter
