John Conrad and his wife stayed in America because she was threatened with a miscarriage.

"I am incredibly busy, as the BBC has developed a passion for me. I talk to all the countries of Europe and S. America; I am to talk on the atom bomb, on socialism and liberty, etc. etc. and of course my work here takes up a good deal of time." Although his big book is progressing slowly, he hopes to finish it in September.

"I am glad you are more anti-Russian than ever; so am I." "What you say about Bach and mathematics is just what I feel; I have never succeeded in getting any emotion from sculpture, alas."

There are no more storms in BR's daily life, which has settled down.

BR saw Derek Wragge Morley, who said he was happy with his new lady.
