Scope and content

Letter, dated 16 Oct 1948, 18 Dorset House, Gloucester Place, N.W.1. - Thanks Elizabeth for her letter; he has suffered no ill effects from the accident and did not realise how serious it was at the time. Is going to Berlin on Friday, but 'Stalinio volente' will return on Wednesday; fears he will not be able to come to the Shiffolds until after Christmas as he has so much work to do; is going to Berlin on the request of the Foreign Office. Hopes she will be able to get Bob to continue reading his "History of Philosophy".
