Walter & I have been shouting over Max
Beerbohm - Dr. Johnstone & the curate
- 2 The Pines - -

Please thank Susie for her delightful letter.
I do like to hear about Bill. I am looking
forward enormously to seeing you all again.
I think the best plan would be if Mother
and I came up about a week before
Walter & had a quiet time with you all
at Elsfield. I do hate travelling alone
& it would be so nice having Mother
with me & we could spend a night
in London on our way. The difficulty
is getting Mother to move. She is a done
crop to lift! She came home from
Broughton today looking much the worse
of her visit to her sister. We have been at
a tea party. The house cleaning is
practically over. We are going to Glasgow
on Thursday for the night.
Walter, like me, is tremendously
impressed by "The Path of the King".
We can't think how you do it. When
I think of my efforts, I feel like
covering my head & howling like a dog.
I shall write to Susie after the Glasgow
visit. I enclose a letter from an
American which may amuse you.
What does old R. N. mean?

Very much love to all, & congratulations
& most profound respect for your new
book

Anna
