"Morning."

"Monday morning". Dated by BR.

OM is torn between going away with BR or staying with Philip and Julian (her daughter). There would be pain involved if she and BR should decide to part, and she writes again of the possibility of meeting (but where—Haslemere?).

BR is "impatient but you know yourself and must not buck your character by being false to what you feel right." She asks again: "tell me about Alys".

OM will see the Whiteheads—she doesn't think Mrs. Whitehead likes her.
