Friday night Mr[[.]] and Mrs[[.]] F gave a dinner. Macmillian the publisher and wife came. Shannon and wife some writers actors etc. I never enjoyed an evening more than that one. Shannon is a simple handsome man. His wife is rather common. Was once his model, is a beauty but drops her h's. I took her down to dinner. We had a grand time and the next morning I came away.

The trip across the Channel was delightful [[.]] Smooth as glass. Some interesting people on board. At Deieppe [[,]] I had a compartment with an English family for company. Three little girls, and one[[,]] four years old [[,]] insisted in sitting on my knee. I quite fell in love with her before the journey's end. We talked about dogs, dolls, boats choo choo's and candy. So after a pleasant visit [[,]] I enjoyed a pleasant return to my work. Have written to Hanes congratulating him. Shall meet tomorrow. Miss Florence Wells. Mr Sheperds cousin. And write a better letter to you immediately

Love to all,
William.

Transcription Notes:
- "Macmillian" due to the mention of publishing. - Changed "same" to "some" [were not the same people] -Changed 'quiet feel in love' to 'quite fell in love'- makes more sense? - There are two quotation marks around the word "Saw," so it may correctly read Saw "Sacrament of Judas." instead.
