Dear Dora,

Thank you very much for your letter. Yes, the atomic bomb makes one have to reconsider all sorts of things. I have never, not even in 1940, felt the outlook as gloomy as now. Everything is working up for a war between USA and USSR, with us a satellite of USA; both sides will use atomic bombs, and very little will be left at the end. — In the little interval between the General Election and the atomic bomb I had been feeling rather happy; but at the crack of Truman’s whip the British Government will have to relinquish all its projects.

I wish we had seen Daphne; I don’t quite know why we didn’t. We have seen Charlie’s sister who lives in Cambridge and I fully expected to see Daphne.

My John is in Washington, and Kate is going back to America to be a Fellow at Radcliffe, which is an annexe of Harvard. Conrad goes to a day school and flourishes.

I wish we could meet, but I am never in your part of the world, and I imagine you never move.

Yours ever
B.R.
