My Darling Love
Your dear little letter has just come.
Yes, we grow more and more completely united — there seems no limit.
I have had a note from Mrs Crompton Davies asking me to go to Three Bridges for a week-end. I am going one week-end to the Murrays — they suggest the 18th, 25th, or 2nd. I suppose all week-ends are alike as far as you are concerned, except that this next week-end, in case you only return from Burnley Friday evening, it would be a pity to be engaged Sat. If either 25th or 2nd seems to you a bad day to choose, please tell me. I shan’t answer either invitation till I know. I have also had another letter from Mrs Sorley transmitting an invitation to visit the nuns. Never say I am not respectable!
It is rather a comfort that Crompton does apparently wish to see me. It is the first sign of it for ever so long. But in some odd way my affection for him is dead, tho’ I have not at any time felt any resentment against him.
This morning I have been writing my review of W. James.3 Quite short as the book is unimportant. Now I have more proofs on hand. Christabel Pankhurst’s letter in today’s D. News is very satisfactory.
I have finished George Trevy’s book — it is fairly interesting, not very.
Are your eyes still very bad? It is very disappointing, all the same troubles coming back. You will certainly have to try the Lausanne man. — I had an enormous long sleep last night and am still only half awake. I begin to feel a great desire to get to work on Prisons again — I believe I could greatly improve the beginning.
Now I must stop and take this to the Post. It is a miserable scrap — writing seems so feeble after a day like yesterday. It was divine — Goodbye my Beloved.
Your
B.
