24 April 1944
Dearest Emily,

I am told that one is now allowed to send photographs, soNorwood, Sir Cyril;a3 I have sent by slow mail a flashlight of myself and Sir Cyril Norwood at Books Across the Sea. If this reaches you, I will send something more like a portrait – a photograph taken on the balcony of the Grand Hotel in Stockholm two years ago.

Your Easter Day letter arrived very quickly, and it gave me pleasure because it suggested something of the revival of health, and spirits, which you say your doctor in New York remarked. WellConcord Academy, Massachusettssubsequently to permanent position;a2, IHale, Emilyas teacher;w1appointment to permanent Concord position;d5 should imagine that the immediate environment, the society and the pupils, and the work itself, are much more congenial to you at Concord than at Millbrook; and if there is to be some permanency to this (as I gather from your design of furnishing a flat or sharing a house, at which I am delighted) I am much pleased. The offset is that Concord is too near to Boston, and too far from New York: but that is a secondary consideration. It means a good deal to have your own furniture and privacy. (When I am settled again in London, I hope to hear more music, just as I hope sometimes to get to the theatre. ButShamley Wood, Surreyits lack of music;b4 the gramophone at Shamley has given out, because it needs overhauling and there is no one who can come to do it; nobody ever seems to want to listen to anything but the news, on the wireless, or at Russell Square either; and I gave my portable, in 1940, to be used at a remote searchlight post, where the men need such distractions more than anybody. AndFaber and Faber (F&F)fire-watching duties at;e6 what with one evening in town fire-watching, the other two are apt to be filled with engagements). IMcPherrin, Jeanettetaken to the Elsmiths;e9 am so glad that youElsmiths, the;a7Elsmith, Dorothy OlcottElsmiths, the took Jeanie to the Elsmiths: and how pleasant it is to introduce one’s friends and find that they like each other. YourEast CokerEH recounts recitation of;c4 account of the reading of ‘East Coker’ amused me very much. I can’t remember Howard Blake, though his name sounds very familiar: but I am very glad that I was not present. ButBabbitt, Dora D.ruled by late husband's tastes;a4 it sounds as if Dora Babbitt (who is quite a dear: while Irving was still alive (a great man but rather a tyrant I fear)1 she would never have been allowed to like my poetry – theBabbitt, Irvinghis attitude to TSE's poetry;b1 early poetry too romantic, and the later poetry what was almost a greater crime in his eyes, too Christian. IEliot, Theresa Garrett (TSE's sister-in-law);c6 am glad to hear that Theresa, as well as yourself, seems to be in good health; andEliot, Henry Ware, Jr. (TSE's brother);i2 during the winter I was a good deal worried about Henry.

Itravels, trips and plansTSE's abortive 1944 North Africa mission;f3;a2 have been extremely busy (as you will have gathered from my not writing last week) as I have not been able to shorten my period in town (but this week I hope to return on Thursday) and am working under some pressure to write three lectures (I have now done 1½) onBritish Counciland TSE's abortive mission to Italy;a4 the possibility of my going away, towards the end of May, for the British Council. I hope to be able to speak more definitely of that in a week or two; buttravels, trips and plansTSE's abortive 1940 Italian mission;d8lectures prepared for;a2 I prepared three lectures for Italy in 1940, and then didn’t go; andtravels, trips and plansTSE's abortive 1943 Iceland mission;e9;a4 two last year for Iceland and didn’t go, so I don’t want to say much about it yet: but the work has to be ready anyway. ThisMirrlees, Maj.-Gen. William Henry Buchanan ('Reay')returns from India;a7 last weekend has not been very favourable for work, because Mrs. M.’s only son, the General, arrived from India for the weekend; whichCoker, Margaret Rosalys ('Margot', née Mirrlees);a6 meant that Margaret Coker (the non-resident daughter who lives at Bicester) also came for the family re-union which made the house very crowded. AlsoShamley Wood, Surreyand Reay's homecoming;b5, certain family games had to be played (one called ‘Happy Emilies’, a variety of Happy Families built of relatives and family acquaintances). HadBehrens, Margaret Elizabeth (née Davidson);b3 it been possible to anticipate the time of his arrival, Margaret (the Field Marshal) Behrens and myself would have preferred to be absent ourselves. However, it passed off pleasantly enough. I postpone any impression of the General until after his next visit. LastMacLeish, Archibaldmeets TSE at dinner-party;a4 week I met, at a dinner party, Mr. Archie McLeish [sc. MacLeish],2 whom I had never met before: he seems a nice, very serious man – MrAgar, Herbertfrightens TSE;a1. Herbert Agar, who was also there, positively frightened me by his intense seriousness.3 McLeish has large plans for cultural cooperation, and the restoration of libraries and universities, and I hope he is coming to see me before he leaves. Thespringat Shamley;b1 cuckoo has been here for a fortnight, wagtailsbirdswagtails;d4on the lawn at Shamley;a1 have been seen on the lawn, the first asparagus has been eaten, andflowers and florabluebells;a4in Shamley Wood;a1 in a fortnight the woods hereabouts will be a sheet of bluebells. I have mowed the lawn, which is in a bad way from moles, dandelions etc.: gardeners nowadays are expected to concentrate on vegetables. IMcPherrin, Jeanettestill persona non grata with the Perkinses;f1 was distressed to learn from your letter that the attitude at Commonwealth Avenue towards Jeanie has not changed. Well, one can only try to keep tenderness alive and strong without expecting understanding, and to learn a lesson for one’s old age.

Lovingly
Tom
