My dear Lady,

No letter so far this week: there seems to have been one of those mysterious postal shifts from one part of the week to another. AndHodgsons, theaccompany the Eliots to Derby Day;a4 I myself find a very crowded week: first because of having to take tomorrow off to go to the Derby (I don’t want to go, and I don’t suppose we shall see anything but part of the crowd and innumerable other cars, but I suppose it is an experience one ought to have once in a lifetime – though rather late in mine); thenShakespeare Association Councilmeeting of;a1 a Shakespeare Association Council meeting on Friday (very dull); thisBritish Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)TSE's committee service for;a1Siepmann, Charles ArthurBritish Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) afternoon a meeting of the informal advisory committee on religious affairs at Broadcasting House, andOxford and Cambridge ClubTSE to oppose motion allowing smoking in library;a3 at five o’clock a general meeting of the Oxford and Cambridge Club. The latter is very important, I can tell you; because a motion will be brought forward to allow smoking in the Library. Feeling runs very high, naturally; and no doubt taunts and inkstands will be flung freely. I, ofconservatismTSE inclines towards;a1 course, am on the side of conservatism; and if the opportunity arises, can make a passionate speech against all such innovations.

IKing's Chapel, BostonTSE formerly congregant of;a2 was much interested by your leaflet of King’s Chapel – did I tell you? my memory is very weak nowadays; whichChristianityUnitarianism;d9the Eliots' as against EH's;a1 gave a glimpse of a kind of formal beauty quite unknown to the Unitarian ritual in which I was brought up. I have only been there twice or thrice; sometimesArlington St. Church, BostonTSE's student place of worship;a1 IFrothingham, Paul Revere;a1 went to Arlington Street where Frothingham was;1 Mr. CrothersCrothers, Samuel McChord;a1 I could not abide – so cultivated, and so deficient in intensity.2

IEliots, the T. S.;d5 did not feel that theNoyeses, thecompared to the Thorps;a2 dinner party of the Thorps and Noyeses was a great success; perhapsThorp, Margaret (née Farrand);a6 because (although they seem to be very good friends) MargaretNoyes, Penelope Barkerintellectually inferior to Margaret Thorp;b1 Thorp is very superior to Penelope intellectually (and indeed so is her husband, who is, I think, quite acute). TheThorps, thecompared to the Noyeses;b9 Thorps seem to fit in to London extremely well; whereas the Noyeses are rather just the rich American visitors, very accustomed to the outside of things, but ignorant of the inside; and I cannot see them ‘at home’ anywhere but Cambridge.

The lively Miss Katherine Spencer has been to tea, and we hope to see her again when she returns from Oxford. I have never met anyone who could talk faster or who seemed to know more people everywhere.

MyEliot, Vivien (TSE's first wife, née Haigh-Wood)and TSE's departure for America;e9possible arrangements in TSE's absence;a8 most pressing anxiety at the moment is the uncertainty over V.’s arrangements while I am away. I had a talk with her doctor (or one of the two) yesterday. The obvious thing is that she should simply have someone to live with her, either a responsible friend, if there is anyone who would stick it out, or a paid companion who need not be a trained nurse – merelyEliot, Vivien (TSE's first wife, née Haigh-Wood)drug habits;e7sleeping draughts;a1 someone with enough force of character to see that she does not indulge herself freely in sleeping drugs – for even mild drugs are poisonous when taken in such large quantities as she would take them if left to her own devices. But I can’t impose any person or arrangement upon her. IEliot, Vivien (TSE's first wife, née Haigh-Wood)and TSE's departure for America;e9still in denial as to;a9 suspect that unconsciously her design is to oppose any arrangement, and then be able to say at the last minute ‘you can’t go away and leave me like this’; so that I must be prepared for a continuous struggle to make her see that I shall leave, when the time comes, so that she must face it. On my first opportunity Itravels, trips and plansTSE's 1932–3 year in America;a7TSE's itinerary;a8 am going to the shipping offices; I think I told you that I intend to come by Canadian Pacific to Montreal, if there is a boat at the right time; it strikes me as the quietest and most retiring way of entering America. I shall let you know the date as soon as it is fixed, so that you may not write any letter which would have to be forwarded to Cambridge.

Itravels, trips and plansEH's 1932 summer holidays;a3;a1 am not very well satisfied with your sketchy plans for the summer; to have to split it up into a round of visits does not seem to give the most restful holiday, and I should have been better pleased if you had one place in which you could settle down; for you really must try to be as fit as possible before you start new work in a new environment. I do so wish that you might have a settled home, and a place in the country with horses and dogs.

What a dull letter, this. But I think I shall have time for another of this length on Thursday, and I hope less scrappy.

Your
Tom
