Scope and content

41 Queen's Road, Richmond, Surrey. - Hoped to be able to suggest a date for a last visit to the Shiffolds: 'very distressing' that Elizabeth is to give it up; always thought of the Trevelyans and the Shiffolds 'as symbols of permanence, unlike me', but Heraclitus was right. Has had no time, as he spends six days a week dictating to secretaries and on Sundays giving talks. Wishes Stalin would disarm so he could have some leisure. Asks where she is going to live; hopes he will be able to visit her in August if it is near London; will be in America in the autumn.
