My dear Kate
I am sorry you are being kept waiting so long by the authorities; perhaps things will go better when the new Govt. is established, and if not, perhaps I can prod them. I hope you are as pleased as I am by the landslide.
I am interested by what you say about Amiel. Certainly it is bad for any one to be too much mothered, and I don’t wonder you get fed up. His gloomy account of Germany is no doubt correct.
I must get hold of Koestler’s book.1
We go to Portmeirion Aug. 11–25. Otherwise we shall be here.
Let me know when there is some one you would like me to write to about your business.
Love.
