My Darling
Your dear little letter was waiting for me here just now when I got back from Cambridge. My love you are so dear — I can’t tell you how utterly I love you. Yes it was heavenly yesterday. I meant to have written to you in the train, but it was such a squash that it was quite impossible. I finished a sheet of proofs over the journey so I wasted no time. I went on account of a meeting of the Moral Science Board to decide on recommending a psychological laboratory and an assistant for Myers — When I got to my rooms I found a letter which I was just going to open when I saw it was addressed to the Very Reverend the Dean of Ely — immediately afterwards the Very Reverend gentleman himself appeared in his hat and all his glory. He has been put in my room for the night — it is Commemoration Feast, which clerics love. My bedmaker looked terrified when I appeared but I didn’t know why. I got tea out of Ogden who has been asked to edit a new Cambridge paper — very complicated pros and cons, which we went into. All day I had thought I was dining with the Trevys but my book tells me it is the Sangers so it is lucky I looked. I haven’t much time as they dine at 7.15. I will write again for you to get it later tomorrow. Darling you really must let me see the paper with the account of your doings. Now I really must stop. Goodbye my Dearest Heart. I long for you to be back and to get long times together. Let me know how you are.
Your loving
B.
