Dora tells BR, "It is best to write to TH as I am moving about driving the car for a couple of weeks' change. Hope the children are well and you are not bothered by the events in Ireland."

I remain an unrepentant revolutionary and I do not like bourgeois values and elegances, for I think they stand in the way, especially at this time in history."
