St. Stephen's House, London, S.W.1.
24th July, 1934.
My own little darling
I do hope you will have a good journey down to Wales today and get safely back tomorrow. There seems no chance of a break in the weather yet.
I rang up Circe this morning, and she says that [ST: Doctor] Gauthier has no understudy in France. But she strongly recommends a Dr Elphick of 118 Harley Street (Welbeck 1611), who has been treating her and Mary. One of his merits is that he is very averse to operations.
The House was very dull last night, with Walter Elliot and his meat Bill. I had tea with S.B. He is enthusiastic about his visit to Culzean. He said the sudden view of Arran rising out of the mist was like the Heavenly City. I dined with Austen and Neville and the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, and one or two others - a very pleasant dinner.
Robert Horne is going to be at Aix for most of August. Everyone who knows Talloires praises it highly.
I have no more news. I am going to dine at The Club tonight.
Much love.
from John
