Scope and content
W[est] H[ackhurst]. - Has been trying to ring, but was 'told "Urgent Calls only", as he just wanted to find out how everyone was. Also wanted to ask if he could come over and see her today; now cannot do that, but could come most days after their lunch, as long as the one o'clock bus keeps running; supposes she is 'mostly in'. On Monday 23rd should go to the Refugee Committee in Dorking.
Has 'nothing specially tragic to report. No, thank goodness'. Went to London last Sunday to broadcast but has not been since and feels 'much cut off, but that is the common lot'. His mother is 'calm & cheerful, so even is Agnes [their maid]. Florence [Barger] has been for a brief visit; she is 'busy and well'. Forster's pamphlet [Nordic Twilight, published as a Macmillan War Pamphlet] is out, but he cannot get any extra copies of it
