第39封信 - 1952.02.14

“细品每一封信，感受日期，感受人类的长情。”

寄语

《84, Charing Cross Road》
从前的日色变得慢
车、马、邮件都慢
一生只够爱一个人

细品每一封信
感受书信的缓慢
感受人类的长情

Miss Helene Hanff 14 East 95th Street New York 28, New York U.S.A.

Dear Helene,

I quite agree it is time we dropped the “Miss” when writing to you. I am not really so stand-offish as you may have been led to believe, but as copies of letters I have written to you go into the office files the formal address seemed more appropriate. But as this letter has nothing to do with books, there will be no copy. We are quite at a loss to know how you managed the nylons which appeared this noon as if by magic. All I can tell you is that when I came back from lunch they were on my desk with a note reading:“From Helene Hanff.” No one seems to know how or when they arrived. The girls are very thrilled and I believe they are planning to write to you themselves. I am sorry to say that our friend Mr. George Martin who has been so ill for some time passed away in hospital last week. He was with the firm a great number of years, so with that loss and the King dying so suddenly as well, we are rather a mournful crowd at the moment. I don’t see how we can ever repay you for your many kind gifts. All I can say is, if you ever decide to make the trip to England, there will be a bed for you at 37 Oakfield Court for as long as you care to stay.

With best wishes from us all, Frank Doel
