King's College Cambridge. - Thanks Bessie for her letter: with other evidence, realises the date must be 1918 [of a letter: see 3/157]. Is getting absorbed in his biography of Goldie [Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson] and would like to get it done by the end of the year. News 'daily more awful' and he wants to get this account 'safe'. Is glad Goldie died when he did, as he 'could not have borne it'; finds it hard to bear it twice in a lifetime himself. Feels that the importance of individual death now is not what it was in the nineteenth century, but there is a great fear of the death of civilisation. Anti-war sentiment seems strong in the University; most of the young men are 'bitter with communism', but there is great factionalism and infighting. Is glad of the warmth of their friendship. Misses Goldie.
