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

9th November, 1933

My own darling

I got your letter this morning. I enclose am amusing
letter from Alice. It is funny to find her writing about the
opening meet of a pack of hounds. I don't think I will have
Rupert for an A.D.C. next year.

If John Wedgwood is Ralph's son he is probably a very
nice fellow.

The Government have unexpectedly give[n] me Government time
for my Bird Bill next Tuesday. That was the day of my first Cambridge
lecture. I had an awful evening yesterday telephoning, but
the Cambridge people have managed to shift all my lectures on one
week, which is very kind of them.

I have got my new plate in, but it is not very comfortable
and I am going to the dentist on my way to the station this afternoon.
I speak at Birmingham at the Scottish University dinner
tonight. Tell Webb I hope to be back from Birmingham at 10.35 tomorrow
morning.

I saw a lot of people in the House yesterday. Noel Skelton is
becoming very like the Emperor Nero. John Colville told me that
Walter Scott was staying with him before he went to you yesterday.
I hope you had a pleasant evening.

Much love.

from
John
