My dearest wee Mother

I was very grieved to see from Nan's letter yesterday that you were still seedy. I did hope that Broughton would make you better. I wonder if you are resting enough. I would be blithe

to hear that your health was improving, my poor wee body.

Last night I went to the dinner of the Allied Transport Council. Bob Cecil made a fine speech, & so did the French Minister Clémentel.

Kerenski, who is in London just now, is probably coming to dine

with me next week. I am curious to see him.

We are all very well. I hope to get down to-morrow to Kent to spend a day with the children. The weather has become rather cold & cloudy. Poor Susie is no further forward. It is a weary wait

for her.

I am busy at Vol XXI of my History. It is getting a terrible long book.

Do try & get well, wee body

Much love to all
