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

20th February 1934.

My own darling

I do hope you had a pleasant journey and found everybody well. Alastair rang me up before I left yesterday to say that Brian was coming down to play against the school next Saturday, and would Billie and John go over. I told Billie to try and arrange to go with John on Saturday instead of Sunday. I presume the little man is not misinformed.

Last evening I went down to the East London College - a far more picturesque place than I imagined, with behind it the cemetery which Oliver Cromwell gave to the Portuguese Jews. Rose Macaulay and a lot of people were there, and the new professor delivered a most admirable address. I spent a dull evening in the House.

Today we shall still be on that weary Insurance Bill. I have no news to send you. Yesterday it looked as if the drought were coming to an end at last, but today we are back again in bright frosty weather.

We must make a plan about going to Bowhill. I shall be at Peebles on Sunday evening, and at the Jew Club on Monday morning to meet the Purse Bearer. I hope you found my little girl well and happy. I gave William strict instructions to tell Cast and Webb about all his movements.

Much love.

from John
