Printed letter, headed "Third Green Letter", dated "February 29, if it weren't 1925".

Poetic jottings are on the verso in a hand other than BR's.

BR is glad Brenan approved of BR's debate with Haldane. "... I was afraid I had been too tame."

"I don't think they will let me talk on politics. Now that the Germans are finished, I think it important to be anti-Russian; but if this is to be done effectively, we must be genuinely democratic, and not suggest to the world that the only alternative to Moscow is governments of semi-penitent Fascists. A Labour government will be far more effective than Churchill in this way."

"The source of all evil is Sparta as idealized" in Plato and in Plutarch's life of Lycurgus.

"I very much enjoyed doing the book [History], and it seems that some of my enjoyment has contributed itself to me."

She had written to the Brenans. She is now in a nursing-home.

"I hope you are right that we have taken too black a view of Russia, and I begin to think perhaps you are. Anyway unless you are there is not much that can be usefully done."

"Pessimism about current affairs has made me more and more absorbed in philosophy. I seem to be just now finding out what are the things I want to say."

BR's private concerns are going better "only by dint of a good deal of carefulness."

Re a meeting between them.

"Love to you both, and as happy a New Year as Stalin and Byrnes will allow us."

BR is glad Brenan liked his Reith Lectures, and BR looks forward to Brenan's history of Spanish literature.
