"Please bring both tickets with you. I meet you in Esbjerg = Bredsdorff".

Peter must write now (at the Petersfield P.O.) to catch tomorrow's air mail.

"Your letters will be nice."

6:15 p.m.

BR's telegram has arrived. Judith [Stephen] and Patricia will go to Oxford next Sunday to see Zuckerman and the Bakers.

She dreamt that BR got lost on a hike. Someone [illegible] fixed the telescope. She longs for BR's first letter. She sends Basil de Selincourt's review of In Praise of Idleness in The Observer, and she is glad B. de Z. [Zoete] got a nullity.

She has received BR's "little letter in the train" [not extant] on his way to the ship to take him to Scandinavia.

Times has come. "Italy has time to beat Abyssinia to a pulp before anything is done." She asks for Scandinavian opinion.

She will send a letter from Gerald Brenan (who kissed Rosalind von Ossietzky). She asks what to answer Imperial Chemicals. There are letters of acknowledgement from Curry and Meynell. BR has earned more this year "in spite of the Canaries and mathematical logic."

She has received BR's "boat letter" and has been with Crompton who sends "enclosed additions to former letter" (not present).

She has had a full massage. She and Crompton attended a meeting where Richard was. On John Strachey. She tells BR to brush his coat, "You old pig!"

David [?] was there for the evening. She refers to life "dealing one such smashing blows". She is going to London for massage, Bach and a hotel room for the night.

Crompton asked her to tea. BR gets no fee for being so busy in Denmark, yet she was unable to go. Carnap "has a dull and fishy eye". She likes Jespersen's books. Her rheumatism and the prospect of children. She analyzes St. Paul's. There will be a general election.

On the Bach concert, from the Berners Hotel. "The bit of mathematical logic I did felt very like Bach."

She has his letter [of Oct. 9] and telegram [of Oct. 10]. "Glad you have been clarified about quantum theory, but it is hard luck for your lecture." She is reading BR in We Did Not Fight.

The envelope has remains of leaves.

On pacifism and Richard Llewelyn Davies. She teaches servant Sarah about auto-intoxication. She asks about Elsinore and has answered 16 letters today.

Patricia suspects BR of destroying heaps of letters without answering them. She answered 14 last night and 13 today. 2000 crocuses are going into the garden. "I wish you used the Tower more." David is coming to dinner again.

Patricia believes BR is now staying with Jespersen. (BR replied on 18 Oct. that he didn't do so.) Zuckerman showed her his monkeys and will stay the weekend of 23 Nov. She mentions Judith, who is looking forward to more logic lessons with BR; and Ann being in love with Richard. (Judith and Ann Stephen, Alys's grand-nieces. Ann's first marriage was to Richard Llewelyn Davies.)

Patricia will be interested in "a simplified view of Bohr's views on determinism". Someone scolded BR for saying Pontifex seduced a housemaid in The Way of All Flesh. (BR replied on 17 Oct.) She wrote to the children to ask them to write to BR in Norway. Religion and Science is out today. She will meet him on 29 Oct.

Crompton says Withers has people who want to buy Telegraph House. Her various illnesses. Tomorrow she has tea with Ottoline. Zita Baker saw Dora with the children catching the train. On sanctions and Italy. "Your telegram about Chemicals came today."

She sends reviews and recommends cinnamon if BR gets a cold. Clifford Allen wants to visit BR.

A second letter, document .106368a, record 119474, was mailed with this letter. Patricia has received BR's letter confessing an affair with Grethe Forchhammer. Patricia is unhappy but is acknowledging his letter so that he will know she is not ill. [BR's letter cannot be located, though it may be extant in Patricia's Nachlass in the Bodleian.]

"What you say about Heisenberg is extremely interesting."

The letter was returned from Poste Restante, Stockholm.

On BR's consorting with Bishops and "I = God". She has deposited a Norton cheque and sends 2 reviews.

"Your conversation with Heisenberg dwells in my mind. Of the things he praised I think that only c) crusades and e) Luther are undeserving, and they too can in a way be admired. I don't know—Luther is a camel[?]. About the sun-flower I agree with him. If we turn to the sun because we like it, so does it. This I have always thought. I like a mild sort of pantheism, that can be stated in scientific terms. It is inescapable, anyway." She continues on Heisenberg: "Heisenberg does sound very German. It worries me a little that our book must be so German, and will probably appear so anti-German. We must make the most of the Italians;—but whatever we do, it all goes back to Luther." Her illnesses. BR has "a certain weakness and lack of judgment in personal things".

"All well love".

Written on letterhead of Seymour Hotel, Totnes.

Patricia has visited the children at Dartington. "Your last speech at the school was a great success." She visited because of BR's "pathetic" letter this morning (= Oct. 17?). She sent a telegram (document .106370, record 112074). She asks about spending a night in London but also the Tower.

She refers to his telegram.

On her outing with the children, Christine and Kate. Patricia's mother only dreamt anxiously about her sister. In Praise of Idleness is selling well, and she will tell Allen and Unwin to insert the bit about sanity and politeness. [Where is the insertion?]

The letter was returned from Norway.

Patricia has arranged that BR will speak at Petersfield Town Hall against air raid precautions on the 31st—same speech as at Portsmouth. (Papers 21 lists the former, not the latter, speech.) Patricia discusses finances and refers to her "wages". Xtine [Christine] has deceived her. She states evidently re the affair with Grethe: "I should be glad though to know what happened."

Patricia comments on BR's book sales. She has all her old symptoms, despite the appendix removal.

Mailed with this letter were documents .106374a and .106374b, record 112083 and record 112082, respectively.

Patricia had a telegram this morning with BR's Bergen address.

BR is still popular with the reading public, despite the divorce. He has helped to loosen the laws around divorce.

The I.L.P. wants BR to join an anti-sanctions congress. Stopes wants BR for dinner. Sotherans send a list of autograph letters and books "from which I gather that you could make vast sums from those you have". She has suggested they buy BR's signed photograph of Carlyle. (Re Archives.)

She discusses terminating Christine for her accounting dishonesty. She points out that BR has been wasting time on train journeys when he could be at home sooner.

This carbon copy was sent to Brynjulf Bull's address in Oslo. The copy has a marginal note. The ribbon copy is document .106375, record 112079.

Patricia tidied her desk and found the jubilee number of Nature. Tomorrow she approves or disapproves the carpet that Crompton has got for his office. She reports her talk with Ottoline about the very young BR. Opinion on politics, especially sanctions, is very chaotic.

A letter on a tiny piece of paper.

He refers to the "Poona carpet" and notes: "A splendid letter from Bertie has come re Zeno." Signed merely "C".

This letter was mailed with document .106374, record 112078.

She encloses a tiny note from Crompton (document .106374b, record 112082). She is considering beekeeping and selling rabbits and mentions an increased fee from Boxall for the shooting, all to reduce the expense of keeping Telegraph House. Edna's illegitimate baby. Christine.

"All well very much love".

The letter was returned to her.

Patricia received a telegram from BR yesterday. She writes of their plans to be together, although some places do not permit embracing.
