BR encloses a letter he just received from Dora.

BR expresses his concerns by writing, "My view is that she intends to get custody of the children through the divorce in which she will blacken me and whiten herself. Peter and I agree that we would sacrifice divorce to prevent that, or even secure a lessening of her share in the control of the children."

"When Dora, a little while ago, said that in eighteen months the position would be different, and she therefore wanted to tell Dartington the children would be removed at Xmas 1935, she was evidently thinking that through the divorce she would get custody."

"She has diddled us over the trust funds.... Dora is slippery, and very wicked; we must be careful."
