Dearest Emily,

YourHalls, the;a4Hall, Richard ('Dick') WalworthHalls, theHall, Amy GozzaldiHalls, the friends, Miss Hancock and Miss Wilkinson, came to tea with me at Russell Square. Miss Hancock (for I think that is the younger one) rather touchingly shy and timid, wrote a charming note of thanks afterwards, a thoughtfulness which is always appreciated. Amy and Dick Hall have been, and gone on to Edinburgh: the close of a five months European holiday on the occasion of his retirement from the Boston & Maine at 65.

Arthritis improving under treatment, but going three times a week for treatment does interfere with working hours. Meanwhile it rains and rains every day: such a summer has not been known in the lifetime of anyone living. Crops probably ruined. News about E.D.C. very depressing.5

I hope that you at least get some warmth and sunlight, and that you are now away at the seaside. I am a long time without news from you, and I hope there will be something before I leave for Geneva.

Lovingly
Tom

11.GustafGründgens, Gustaf Gründgens (1899–1963): famous, and famously controversial, German actor and director. He played the part of ‘Der Schränker’ (‘The Safecracker’) in Fritz Lang’s film M (1931), and earned authority as artistic director of a series of major theatres in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Hamburg. During WW2 he somehow found favour with the Nazis, and served on the Presidential Council of the Reichskulturkammer (Reich Chamber of Culture); Hermann Göring even added his name to the Gottbegnadeten (Important Artist Exempt List). In 1960 he was to be celebrated for his portrayal of Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust. Despite being a known homosexual, Gründgens was briefly married, 1926–7, to the actor and writer Erika Mann (1905–69) – daughter of the author Thomas Mann – who was later to arrange a marriage of convenience with W. H. Auden. In 1936, while living in exile in Amsterdam, Klaus Mann – Gründgens’ quondam brother-in-law – published the novel Mephisto, in which the figure of Hendrik Höfgen – whose career is depicted as one of corruption and compromise with the Nazis – is based on the career of Gründgens; this roman-à-clef was published for the first time in Germany in 1956; and in 1981 it was to be filmed by István Szabó, with Klaus Brandauer starring as Höfgen. See Andrea Weiss, In the Shadow of the Magic Mountain: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story (Chicago, 2010) and Lara Feigel, The Bitter Taste of Victory: Life, Love, and Art in the Ruins of the Reich (2016).
