"Bertie dined here this week (3 hours of blissful talk for me!) and said he had enjoyed your autobiography." "He thanked you for suggesting he look at the aesthetics, but said he had no feeling for aesthetics nor for the visual arts. His interests are purely scientific, philosophical and political, and they keep him occupied. He is separated from Patricia, tho' not legally, but has to pay her alimony, as well as to Dora, his second wife and mother of his two older children. Until recently, he also paid alimony from Frank's estate to Frank's second wife, who lived till 90! Fortunately, he doesn't need to pay me anything, tho' he offered to in 1911!"
