My Darling Darling Love

Your little letter came by 2nd post and was a great joy. Yes, we were both very sad yesterday — it was all one could do to pretend not to be. I did mind most dreadfully saying goodbye for such a long time — more, a great deal, than I had thought I should. But don’t think I shall be unhappy — I really shan’t — you have been so wonderful lately and so full of love that it will be easy to keep happy. I do hope tho’ that your time won’t be very trying and that you won’t get very ill and tired.

I had a letter from Mildred this morning asking when I would see her — I said I was dining in London Monday and Friday and could see her either ofa those days.

My evening lasted for ever — an endless succession of people — among others Bobbie Ross whom I thought odious. My brother stayed till about two — I was glad to see him but glad too when he went. My heart was not in things and I had great difficulty in making the evening “go”.

Lucy Silcox has telegraphed to say she is coming to dinner tonight. I woke early and am overwhelmed with sleepiness — I hope I shall be awake when she comes. — I liked Madame Anrep very much indeed. I feel as if I hadn’t said how much in my letter yesterday.

Wittgenstein has just been here saying with all solemnity that logic is driving him into insanity. I think there is a danger of it, so I urged him to let it alone for a bit and do other work — I think he will. He is in a shocking state — always gloomy, pacing up and down, waking out of a dream when one speaks to him.

Goodbye my Darling. All my happiness is in you Dearest and all my hope and life.
