St. Stephen's House,
London, S. W. 1.

18th June, 1931

My own darling

I got your letter late last night. The weather must be
atrocious for the rehearsing, but it seems to me to be slowly
getting better. I do hope it is all right this evening. It will
be a tragedy if, after all the trouble they have taken, they are
swamped with rain .

Mother writes that she has burned her foot again very
badly and probably won't be a ble to go to Edinburgh. She is a most
unfortunate person. I think I must go up with you to Scotland and
try to get out t o Peebles to see her.

We had a dull evening in the House yesterday. I dined at
the Club and went back. Today we are engaged with the Scots
clause the whole time, and I shall have to speak.

I am off to Cambridge tomorrow and get there in time for
luncheon. I am coming back by London and hope to get to Oxford at
five minutes to nine p.m.

Your friend, Mrs. McBurnie came to tea with me at the
House yesterday with quite a nice boy, who is going to Cambridge in
two years. The Terrace is cold and comfortless, but it seems always
to be full of people. Mabel Grey is coming to tea with me today
to talk about something or other.

Heaven send we get a fine weekend, and that poor Alice
