My Darling

This is merely one line to say George is going up tomorrow morning and I shall go with him, and so I can’t reach you till about 11.15 or 11.20. I can’t leave before him very well so I can’t take my usual early train.

A second German has turned up at morning lectures — I begin to think they are spies! Besides arguing with my two Germans, I have written a French reply to a criticism by what appears to be a Hungarian, and called on Mrs Sorley who fortunately was out.

George is very loveable. He talked about his boy today — he felt the loss quite terribly.

Now this must be posted as my people will be coming. Goodnight my Darling.
