Dear Kate

Thank you for your letter about the Dr, which I meant to answer sooner. I gather you did not get much good out of your visit to him. Did he suggest your seeing him or a colleague again? I mean after the second visit you mention.

You seemed, when I last saw you, much less in need of that sort of thing than at any time for many years. I am very glad you have got interested in world affairs, and I should be delighted if you got a job in Germany.

Your story about Germans being made to walk barefoot on broken glass is horrifying. The business of Buchenwald etc. is dreadful. I think the facts must be known, but the effect is very bad. There is an increasing tendency to condemn all Germans. I hope it will pass. I gather Amiel only hates SS men, which is justifiable.

I am sorry you are not allowed to tell the truth about Malaya. But in war time truth is always frowned on.

Much love, dear Kate.
