My Darling

This is just a line about trains, as it is late. I find there is a 10.35 at Kings X, which I hope you can manage. The next, 11.10, is a Cambridge train, which is undesirable. There is a train back at 5.20, arriving just after 6 — nothing later (except a slow one 3 minutesa later) would be in time for your dinner.

I had a successful time at Girton — I spoke entirely without preparation or a single note, and I think did better than with preparation. Then I came home and a host of people turned up — Oliver Strachey among them. He seems very happy.

Most of your flowers are still nice. Now I really must go to bed. I have got a huge bundle of MS from Whitehead3 which I must tackle tomorrow.

Goodnight my Dearest. It will be heavenly on Wednesday, and I am already thinking of the times at Peppard —

Your loving
B.

  huge bundle of MS from Whitehead Whitehead had halted the printing of PM, Vol. II. The bundle of MS was likely the addition of the “Prefatory Statement of Symbolic Conventions”. Proofs began arriving again on 26 May (BRACERS 17157).
