St. Stephen's House, London, S.W.1.
14th November, 1933
My own darling
The debate yesterday was quite amusing, and I sat through most of it, apart from a short dinner at the Club. Simon gave Stafford Cripps a pretty good trouncing. It is rumoured that the Liberals propose to cross the floor of the House and join the Opposition, which would be a very good thing.
My Bill comes on this evening, but I am afraid it may be late. I shall first of all have to rebut in the Report stage a motion to recommit it, and then put up the case for it on the third reading.
I can dine with your Mother tomorrow night, so I will arrange to do so unless I hear from you to the contrary. I hope you had a pleasant night with Beatrice.
I find a good deal of anxiety here about what Germany may now do. Some think she will denounce the Versailles Treaty.
I am lunching with the two Hodder Williams. Tomorrow I have an awful day - an interview with the P.M., a deputation to the Postmaster- General, etc., and am speaking at Sunderland House at six o'clock. I will try to join you at 6. 30 .
Much love. from John
