Friday night.

My Darling

Ponsonby was out and Logan was away, so I got the desk without difficulty and set it up in my room. It will be a great improvement to have it there. Now if only we had the sofa we should be pretty complete. I caught the 6.18 with some time to spare and have been sleeping since it started.

The Murrays’ address at Oxford is 82 Woodstock Road. If you write there by the 5.30 post tomorrow I think it would be unwise to write again and probably useless. I leave Cambridge 2.45 tomorrow.

I stayed in Ponsonby’s flat some nights about 18 months ago. It is still just as filthy as then. I can’t think how he and Logan stand it. But perhaps minea will get just as bad in time. I hope not.

Thank you so much for the Tolstoy book. I know it will interest me immensely. We were both tired today but it was a delightful day all the same. I love giving you tea. It is such fun.

Tonight I have to go and hear Moore read a paper on the external world. It is lucky I slept in the train, or I should have disgraced myself by sleeping during the paper.

Goodnight Darling. I love you with all my soul.

Your
B.
