My Darling

Your letter came by 11 o’clock post quite safely — I am glad you found Mrs Buxton not so bad after all. Yes, I should certainly have agreed about cooking and sewing. I have no doubt everybody can do what you say they can all do, but I can’t read what it is. Yes, I long to be there when you have discussions — I should particularly like to hear you chaff Lytton.

The enclosed came from Karin and I have answered it, saying what I think of Bergson. Kar Cox’s letter doesn’t seem to require an answer. — I find the little table can’t well be got till the rest of the furniture is moved. I have received from Alys a number of forks, spoons etc. and a few bits of jewellery. It is a pity I didn’t receive them before buying things for the Flat. I will bring the jewellery to the Flat on Tuesday; I haven’t looked it through yet; it belonged to my mother and is mostly very ugly and early-Victorian. — We had a good discussion after Moore’s paper last night — the paper itself contained nothing that was new to me — it came out of his lectures at Morley College. The Tolstoy is very interesting and has his quality; but it is a trifle too much of a moral tale; at least the first story is; I haven’t read the others yet.

I half look forward to seeing the Murrays and half dread it. I haven’t seen them since the separation from Alys, and I don’t know whether Mary will want to talk about it. I hope not.

Lloyd George’s speech last night was interesting. I wish he hadn’t abused Lord Hugh and Carson; it spoils the effect of his good things. On Suffrage he was very satisfactory. Also there was a hint that he means to take up land questions again, I do hope he will.

Now I must stop — it is getting late and I must pack and eat before I go. I slept so much last night that I am quite stupid today. I shall be thankful when term is over and my time is not so occupied — it stops all one’s thoughts except about business. Goodbye Darling — Monday 11.30 — at the Flat unless I find a letter there telling me to come to you. I do love you my Dearest — more and more.
