"I also had a short letter from B.—not mentioning divorce, but upset about you and giving the impression of general depression."

When "Mike" (?) was in Ireland she stayed some time with a relative who knew BR's mother well. The relative that knew BR's mother said that BR "... was unable to stick to anything or anybody—I think the word used was 'inconsistent'. The family are like that she said! I imagine B. would like to feel he stuck to some affections." (S. Turcon note)
