Dora updates BR regarding the children's health and hopes Kate's spots do not recur. Dora is feeling much better.

Dora learns from Betty and Kate that a donkey is at Battine meadow. She enjoys long conversations with Kate even though they tire her. "I'm sure things must get better now after being so awful."

Dora asks BR if he had heard from Mrs. Nott. She thinks Mrs. H. should contact her regarding renting a piano so Miss Lawrence can teach.

Dora can only work when Kate is resting and she talks with Griffin after supper. Kate's chickenpox spots are fading, with only 6 scabs left.

Dora is concerned about the correspondence in the Guardian about Trevelyan's scheme. "I believe we could stop it going through, but so far no one has raised a real battle cry except the old free church one—few people seem to realize that it isn't just a denominational battle, but a battle for education."

Whitehead comments on Leonard's book, Philosophical Essays.

BR asks her to drop the article she has written for him, using "my book" as a basis and source of quotations.

[Probably The Scientific Outlook was the book in question.] If it is published, he will have to repudiate it. The article concerned his vision of the future for 1953.

Dora is sorry BR is ill and hopes he doesn't have measles or chickenpox. She does not think it will be easy to look for staff once the baby is born. Dora is thinking of Miss Evans who wanted the matron's job with the Russells and wonders if she has a permanent job.

Dora wonders if her mother is ill as she has not heard from her. "Kate is lovely, perfectly happy, but I can't do a stroke of work, of course."

"Darling, don't worry or fret—that is why you get ill."

Dora is worried about BR and hopes to receive a wire from him.
