Notes and topics

Eaton's daughter, Lissy Jones, has been given a trip to England and will be in Chester on the 15th of July.

"It would be the most unforgettable experience of Lissy's life if she could see you. She has just finished Why I Am Not a Christian and has decided never to bother reading another philosopher. She knows, of course, that it might not be convenient for you to see them; we don't want to impose on you and Lady Russell in any way. I have given her permission to phone you from Chester, in hope that she may pay her respects."

Mrs. Eaton asks for a signed photograph of BR. There is a handwritten note by Edith attached to the letter stating: "Queens Hotel Chest 25036".

Eaton has had "the greatest success" quoting some of BR's asides in Vienna, especially "the Trojan War is the one war that every man understood the cause of."
