Brenan writes from Spain to his nephew, Blair Brenan. He and Gamel had spent ten days in Yegen with BR and Patricia who had been sent by Blair. "I don't think I was ever so quickly fascinated by anyone [BR] before or so warmly disposed as I was to him ... I thought she [Patricia] was a nice girl, a trifle too schoolgirlish perhaps and too English—but evidently a rest after Dora. I think he is in love with her, but also—a common experience in love—very often bored."
