My dear Elizabeth

I should like very much to come to Shiffolds for a week-end, but at the moment all my time is taken up. Could I come in May? Either the 8th or the 15th? I know this sounds preposterous, but those are the only possibilities till the autumn. In vacation time I shall be in Wales, and in term time I have B.B.C., various meetings, deputations, and God knows what. So not even the prospect of a radiator can bring me. I see “your brother-in-law the Master of Trinity” once a week.

John and his family are in Richmond. Everything to do with them is very satisfactory. Kate is engaged, and will probably be married quite soon, to an American whom I don’t know but believe to be nice.

Peter had to have her gall-bladder out and went to Wales to convalesce. She is now nearly well again. Conrad is with her.

I should love to see you in London, particularly if you could come here.

Yours affectionately
B.R.
