BRACERS Record Detail for 111017
To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
Probably written from Grosvenor Lodge, Cambridge.
Peter has decided to stay "here" with Conrad because of his mood of "hysterical fatigue". BR encloses the pantomime tickets.
(This may be in connection with the family's planned trip to London to see John and Kate in late December. The letter was found with the batch of BR's letters to John in 1944.)
BR TO JOHN CONRAD RUSSELL, [DEC. 1944]
BRACERS 111017. ALS. McMaster
Proofread by K. Blackwell
Dear John
After you were gone it became evident to Peter that Conrad was in a mood of hysterical fatigue in which any more excitement was likely to make him ill, so she decided with regret to stay here with him. I shall come alone. I enclose pantomime tickets but don’t do anything about them if it is a bother.
Haste for post.
Your aff
Diddy.
