Dearest Alys

I expect this won’t go till tomorrow, but I may as well write it now. My bag is much more likely to be at the G.W. than the LNW. Has thee inquired whether it has been sent to Bagley Wood? That is the most likely of all. Very sorry thee should have so much trouble. — I didn’t see about Scott getting a 2nd and Paul a 3rd. I am not surprised about Paul. Crompton wants me to join him for a few days’ walk on the mainland after we leave Skye. I have no doubt we can arrange it somehow. I hope Arthur Dakyns won’t play us false. I am glad Karin’s hearing is better.

Two Germans are staying here — one is a scientific doctor, who is investigating cancer, and knows Simon and Dr. Osler. I have not yet found out his name. The weather is bad, and we are doing only short walks. Don’t talk to North about his health — he doesn’t know there is cause for anxiety.

Thine aff
Bertie
