50 Gordon Square, W.C. - Notes that this is now his address. Is sending a second copy of his new book ["Three Ways of Thought in Ancient China"?] to Bob for safe keeping; a third is in proof already, but he expects they will not go on with it now [it was in fact published in November that year]. Has had his 'fair share of being published'. Is waiting for a 'promised job in the Ministry of Information]. Beryl is here with him; he 'cannot persuade her to go to the country'; asks Bob if he knows of some 'very nice people' who could take her in; her 'undaunted high spirits would be an asset anywhere'.
