"The state of the world gets worse and worse, and U.S. Republicans get madder and madder."
"I can't, as things are, advise Charlie to get transferred to Europe—there is too much danger of being gasified by an atom bomb or liquified by the NKVD."

Dear Kate
It was very nice seeing you in Washington and I wished there had been more time, as the early hours were wasted in “unpacking”. I hope things go well with you. You should get $600 from Mademoiselle for my article on how the chic young American woman should dress. Simon and Schuster say they have written to you about my MSS —
The state of the world gets worse and worse, and U.S. Republicans get madder and madder.
Remember that you should take a care-free holiday as soon as possible. I can’t, as things are, advise Charlie to get transferred to Europe — there is too much danger of being gasified by an atom bomb or liquefied by the NKVD.
Dear Kate, don’t forget my great affection for you. Write fully when you can. Love.
Yrs aff
