Dear Fred

Here, until the 12th. It is ordained for the procreation of children, and for a godly and wholesome discipline. {1}

Oh, I am mad!—mad!

17 people have written to ask me for prescriptions, I mean testimonials. They know that writing matrimonials drives me mad, that every testimony takes me a week to do, that it sears my conscience and sores my brain, that—why are people such fiends? They only does it to annoy, because they knows it teases. {2}

Therefore pity & forgive me, and persuade others to do the like.

I have killed 9 establishments and 4 baptists with Moss’s story about the cockatoo who letusprayed.

Make somebody put music to this

Credo in deam solam libertatem Matrem vitæ

{1} The first phrase comes from the marriage service in the Prayer Book; the second appears to be Clifford’s own invention, though the phrase ‘godly and wholesome Doctrine’ occurs in the thirty-fifth of the Thirty-Nine Articles (‘On the Homilies’).

{2} An adaptation of verses in Alice in Wonderland (1865):

Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases.

{3} ‘I believe in the only goddess Liberty, mother of life, mother of all living things, source of the written law, the whole glory of the human race.’

Arena Stage, 6th & Maine Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20024 - It was good to see him again, thinks he is holding up well, singing some of Steve [Sondheim?]'s more difficult songs.

In a letter from Peter to Johnson he explains that he wrote 'The Woman In the Wardrobe' under a pseudonym because he and Anthony [Shaffer] wanted to write two more together under that name; provides a riddle to guess the pseudonym they used. This is accompanied by fax transmission sheet. The reply from Johnson apologises for misattributing 'The Woman in the Wardrobe' to Anthony Shaffer, and for getting the type of work wrong: a detective novel and not a play, and notes that Shaffer has not revealed what happened at the end, prolonging his 'agony'; thanks him for kind remarks about his column.

If Milnes should accept the office, he is elected, if not, asks him to ensure the cards 'go forth somehow, or tell me how I can move in the matter'.
