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

7th February, 1934.

My own little darling

I hope you and William got home safely and are having pleasant weather at Elsfield. Spring is in the air, but it is still pretty cold, as I know from my before-breakfast walks .

Everyone seems to have been delighted with the dinner. Nancy was full of it. She says that her boy David speaks more enthusiastically about you than he has ever been known to speak about any woman before, and she hopes you will continue to be kind to him.

I have not yet seen the P.M. or heard anything.

The debate last night on foreign affairs was a rambling business, except for Austen's speech, which was excellent. What a position in Paris!

I have a Carnegie Trustees luncheon today, and then must hurry off to Lucy Masterman's remote flat in Battersea for a Trustee meeting. I am dining with the Clothworkers, where I have to speak.

Tomorrow I am having a talk with Duncan about Marnie's affairs.

I will be back on Friday, I hope, by the 10.15. Remember we are sending for John Edgar at three o'clock that afternoon.

Much love.

from John
