There is another envelope in this file, postmarked 18 September 1916, from BR to Whitehead, which is empty.

BR outlines his financial situation to refute a story Evelyn has heard. He still has £400 a year apart from what he earns. He had been hard up for a time but now finds himself better off than when he was at Trinity because his flat is let and he is earning money from writing and lecturing.

He is leaving on a fortnight's holiday.

This letter is Whitehead's reply to BR's letter in the same file (record 119037), and is folded as if sent.

See record 46911 for all the versions of this letter.

BR is going to Spain.

Re the cost of boring for a new water supply.

Dora would like to know if BR can take over Telegraph House at Christmas.

BR; in his draft reply, states he can probably get out of his arrangement to stay at Deudraeth Castle until July. He supposes the children could go to Dartington after Christmas. [Perhaps the draft was sent to Crompton Llewelyn Davies. Dora replied to it on 5 Sept. 1933, record 119086.]

Dora asks if BR received her letter of Aug. 27 to Ireland (document .104226, record 119083).
