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

7th March, 1933

My own darling

I hope you got the boys safely back to Eton yesterday.
Today is most wonderful weather, and I walked before breakfast
and looked at the birds in St. James's Park.

Last night there was very little doing in the House, and
I went with Jock MacEwan to the Old Vic to see "Romeo and Juliet".

Today I have Vasco at twelve, a long Reuter meeting in
the afternoon, and a Scottish Committee in the evening.

Peter Davies is lyrical about my Glencoe.

I will write to you from the New Club tomorrow morning.
I hope you will see Alice when you are in London. I am not very
easy about that young lady. [this paragraph struck out by ST]

Roosevelt seems to be handling things well in America. That
great country is half on and half off the gold standard. I saw
Ramsay yesterday afternoon. He would talk about nothing except an
obscure early Scots poet. I had a hurried dinner in the company
of S.B. Apparently the Cabinet sat all day on Sunday.

Much love.
