Treasury Chambers, Great George Street, S.W.1
My dear Pethick Lawrence,
Thank you for your very kind note of congratulation. Much appreciated—as was also your previous note to my wife. Here I am back again in the Treasury like a recurring decimal—but with one great difference. In 1918 most people’s only idea was to get back to pre-1914. No-one to-day feels like that about pre-1939. That will make an enormous difference when we get down to it.
Sincerely yours,
J M Keynes
