My own little darling
I got your beloved letter this morning. I am so glad you are enjoying yourself. There seems very little hope today of the anti-cyclone breaking.
I am very much touched by the enthusiasm about my appointment in the Scots papers. There can be no question of Charlie Dick. Having paid for his kit last year; I must use him again. The chaplain is always a difficulty, and he is far less difficult than most. Otherwise I will do nothing about the rest of the staff until I have seen the Purse-Bearer.
I cannot understand Brian's movements. Alastair expects him at Eton on Saturday; Walter expects him at the Irish match in Edinburgh. Anyhow, I hope to hear from you where we are all to meet on Monday and go to Bowhill.
The "Royal Flush" lecture yesterday was perfectly first-rate. She had very few notes and was extraordinarily witty. I went back to dinner with her and the Bernard Darwins, and had a very pleasant evening.
I have no news about the matter you know of. We shall have a dull afternoon today in the House. I go back to Elsfield tomorrow morning, and leave on Saturday morning for Peebles.
Much love to you all. John
