St. Stephen's House, London, S.W.1.
24th May, 1935
My dearest mother
I got your kind letter this morning. I am glad you are enjoying the Assembly, though it must be rather queer after recent years. I observe pretty much the same guests at the dinners as we had.
I am very sorry that you are beginning to feel sad about my departure - you were so very brave at the beginning. But you and I can never be very far away from each other. We will talk about this when I come up in June.
We will be very sad if Walter cannot get down to the dinner on Monday, as I had arranged a little supper party for him with Alice and Brian and Susie.
I am in London for a busy day. I must try and polish off these wretched Heralds, and I am also hunting for a Secretary and a Steward. But I am enormously better than I was; in fact I am almost perfectly well. It is still filthy cold weather. Susie and I are guests at the Royal Empire Society dinner tonight, and I have to make a short speech.
Poor John Edgar was too ill to come to Elsfield yesterday.
Take great care of yourself. Much love.
from John
