BR would like to see Gamel on Feb. 11: "I can't get a room in a hotel owing to UNO and shall be staying with Julian Huxley probably: so it is a question of a restaurant."
BR is very busy. "... so is Peter, who is organizing a big meeting for 'Save Europe Now'. Being busy is the only way to endure this beastly world. I hate the Soviet government too much for sanity. We have bought a derelict cottage in Wales, and hope ultimately to retire from the hubbub. I want to write a system of philosophy and an autobiography, and then die."

My dear Gamel
It is a very long time since we last met, and I don’t like it. I shall be in London for the night on Monday Feb. 11 and should be very glad if we could have tea and dinner together. If you can manage that, will you choose a place for tea as I don’t know any nice place. I can’t get a room in a hotel owing to UNO and shall be staying with Julian Huxley probably; so it is a question of a restaurant.
I am very busy, and so is Peter, who is organizing a big meeting for “Save Europe Now”. Being busy is the only way to endure this beastly world. I hate the Soviet Government too much for sanity. We have bought a derelict cottage in Wales, and hope ultimately to retire from the hubbub. I want to write a system of philosophy1 and an autobiography,2 and then die.
I long to see you. Goodbye with love.
Ever yours
B.
