My Dearest
Your little line was a comfort to get, just as my people were coming to be lectured to. — Last night I went to see McTaggart, after getting a hasty supper at an Inn. The talk turned on jealously oddly enough. It is difficult to avoid showing that one thinks oneself better informed on a subject of that sort. Nothing interesting was said. I went to bed early and slept very long.
Today I have to coach Karin. I am not feeling quite alive. I shall feel better when you do. I am not worrying, but the effort of not worrying and of not feeling anger against Alys takes up nearly all my energy.
I find I shall certainly have to come to London for the night of July 7, which is in the middle of the fortnight I am to be with North. I have merely to go to a dinner which will probably not last as long as an ordinary dinner-party. If we could manage to meet, it would break up the fortnight.
Dearest I am too dead to write more. The time at Fernhurst took it out of me a good deal, but in a day or two I shall have got over it. Goodbye.
Your loving
B.
