Notes, topics or text

Dated simply "Sunday". The letter may be connected with BR's visit to London on Dec. 17, 1944.

John had called BR the night before, apparently having had a bad experience he could not talk about. BR: "I will go to Cambridge by the last train, but will dine with you and Pam first."

BR invites John to stay with him next weekend. He could put John up in college. "I don't like to think of you in London just now."

BR TO JOHN CONRAD RUSSELL, [DEC. 1944]
BRACERS 111019. ALS. McMaster
​​​​​​​Proofread by K. Blackwell


Sunday

Dear John

It was good of you to ring me up last night — you sounded as if you had been having a bad experience you couldn’t talk about. I will go to Cambridge by the last train, but will dine with you and Pam first.

Could you come to Cambridge next week-end? I could put you up in College. I hope you can. I don’t like to think of you in London just now. Come if you possibly can. Much love from us both.
