My dear Kate

The enclosed came after I had signed everything, so my efforts are foiled. I hope it won’t matter much to you. I am glad the toaster is a success, and I hope the inorthodox Ph.D. thesis will be.

I wouldn’t come back to England if I were you. The danger of war is acute, and if war comes England will be dangerous and disagreeable.

I gather Peter told you all about my adventure in Norway, which added greatly to the success of my tour. Now I am just off for 5 days in Berlin.

All goes well. Write to me when you have time.

Love from
Diddy
