My dear Gamel

I do not know how it has come about that we have not seen each other for such a very long time. I wish with the greatest intensity to see you, but obstacles on both sides are difficult. I shall be in London (at Dorset House) after Oct. 12 all through the winter, except for a brief visit to Berlin if there is no war. I do hope if you are in London any time after that you will let me know.

I am here at a philosophical Congress — half Jesuit, half Marxist, with only a sprinkling of others. It is very depressing. Tomorrow I return to FESTINIOG, N. Wales (sufficient address).

Don’t let us lose touch with each other completely if you can possibly help it. Love.

Your
B.
