My dear Irina
Thank you for a lovely cake and for very nice letters. I am glad to know your situation as to divorce. Derek has incurred my undying hatred for having consummated Conrad’s ruin by stirring up Peter just when she seemed open to reason. Conrad was to have come to me for part at least of the Xmas Holidays, but refused on the ground that Peter can’t afford a maid and he has to help with housework. She has at present £3,300 a year.
I work like a black — odd articles, lectures at Oxford, at Paris, and in Australia.
I hope I shall see you some time at Richmond (41 Queen’s Road) some time after Jan. 13. Every Tuesday I shall be in Oxford, and the first two weeks of Feb. I also have to go to Paris for the Foreign Office.1
Much love
Yrs ever
BR
