Thanksgiving Day
[No salutation]

There seems to be no post in to-day, so I hope to receive my weekly rations from you tomorrow. I have had a very busy week, and it seems to me to be ages since I wrote to you; I should, but for all these affairs, have written to you early in the week. AtClement, JamesWayland weekends with;a3 the weekend I went out to Jim Clement’s at Wayland after lunch. ArrivedHinkley, Barbara (TSE's first cousin);a9 and found Barbara paying a visit, on her way back, apparently, from leaving one of her sons at St. Mark’s. This was rather a nuisance, as I wanted to go for a walk with Jim, and I was to see Barbara next day anyhow; she left just before 4, but by that time it began to rain heavily. AtHall, Amy Gozzaldi;a2 a quarterHall, Richard ('Dick') Walworth;a1 to 5 Amy (Gozzoldi) Hall, her husband Dick and a woman arrived. The notion seemed to be that the woman might buy some antiques – AmyClement, Margot;a2 and Margot cooperate in trying to sell old junk, and I believe that they did quite well before the ‘depression’ – so I tried to make myself agreeable – she was the sort of woman who goes to all lectures – but they departed about 6 without anything having been said about furniture, so the time was wasted. Promised to go with Amy to the next performance of the Cambridge Dramatic – that is the evening of December 1st; I talk at King’s C. in the afternoon. Thesmokingwith Jim Clement;a2 evening was free from visitors; and I sat smoking with Jim until just on 11. InChurch of St. John the Evangelist, Bowdoin Street;a4 the morning Jim motored me in, and I arrived in good time for St. John’s; afterWolcott, Edith PrescottTSE's reasons for doting on;a3 church Barbara’s chauffeur picked me up and took me out to Milton. AfterWolcott, Roger;a2 a cocktail at Roger’s we went across to his mother’s, where I found a large lunch party – about 15 people; but several Wolcott sons among them – all of the sons commonplace and a little plebeian compared to their mother, whom I dote upon – butPrescott, William Hickling ('W. H.');a1 she apparently was a daughter of Prescott the historian,1 evidently of a superior breed to the Wolcotts. AnStimson, Frederic Jesup;a1 old Whiskers named Stimson who had been ambassador to the Argentine was the guest of honour;2 hisdogsTSE enthuses over with Ambassador Stimson's wife;a6 wife rather a pleasant person, the first I have discovered in this country with a real passion for Dogs, so we got on nicely. AlsoCarter, Morris;a1 a Mr. Carter who is the curator of Fenway Court; told me he had read all my letters to Mrs. Gardner.3 AfterwardsField, Dr William Luskmeets TSE again;a1, had to return to Barbara’s as she had invited Mr. & Mrs. Bill Field – he is the Head of Milton now, and was science-master in my time4 – very nice people they are. Bill looks no older than I. That made a long day. IWelch, Francis Hinkleychauffeurs and grows on TSE;a2 was motored back to Cambridge by Francis Welch (a nice fellow) only in time to go to Margaret’s for supper. MargaretEliot, Margaret Dawes (TSE's sister)her history;b3 is a very poor housekeeper, and the supper is meagre and badly cooked. She is perfectly sane, as sanity goes, but distinctly abnormal; a dull mind, only developed up to about the age of 12. She suffers I think from having been considered a great beauty when a girl, but apparently nobody really wanted to marry her – the reason probably being her intense egotism – no man can be in love very long with a woman who is only interested in herself. She talks incessantly and in a rather excited way, and is decidedly fatiguing. AfterwardsEliot, Margaret Dawes (TSE's sister)takes TSE to hear spirituals;b2 we went to North Cambridge to the Congregational Church where the Negroes were to sing; I had no notion how bleak and bare a church can be until I entered this church, just a sort of lecture-hall with an ugly organ behind the platform. In came the Negro boys and girls, with the garrulous negro lady who directs them, and they crooned their little songs, and the Lady made a speech about the Alice Palmer Memorial Institute in Carolina, which they represent. Margaret was very excited, and insisted on talking to the Lady afterwards, andDuddy, Revd Dr Frank E.;a1 to the Congregational Minister Mr. Duddy;5 and then the Lady got excited when she heard that I was a Gentleman from London, and said she wanted her Boys to meet the Gentleman from London; so they all trooped up nicely and shook hands; but the Girls were not brought up. So then we went home; and that day was a tiring day. OnCharles Eliot Norton Lectures (afterwards The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism)'Poetry and Criticism in the Time of Elizabeth' (afterwards 'Apology for the Countess of Pembroke');b7finished;a2 Monday I finished lecture no. 2, andColonial Society, The;a2 dined with the Colonial Society at the Algonquin Club. A large gathering – about 50. Excellent dinner, but as I loathe after dinner speaking, it might have been so much poison to me. However, I managed to get up and talk with[out] halting for about a quarter of an hour – it might have been longer or shorter, because you never can tell how long you are talking unless you have much experience – and I had no notes; and I dare say it was incoherent nonsense – mostly about Scottish Nationalism;6 butPerkins, Dr John Carroll (EH's uncle);a7 your uncle, very kindly, was there, and he can I am sure give you a more accurate account than I can. AYale University;a1 professor from Yale talked after me, very much more expertly than I.7 TuesdayLowes, John Livingston;a6 was uneventful, except that I lunched with Lowes, and he promised to write to California for me; I am beginning to get anxious that no more engagements there are appearing; but I am sure he will get something. WentSedgwick, Mabel (née Cabot);a1 toSpencers, thewhich is subsequently repeated;a3 the chamber music club in the evening, and came back with the Spencers and Mrs. Sedgwick.8 LastSheffields, theNorton Lectures practised on;a6 night supped at Ada’s and read them lecture 2 and the first half of lecture 3. AndSheffield, Ada Eliot (TSE's sister)hosts the Eliot family Thanksgiving;b8 when I finish this letter I shall go back to Ada’s for the family dinner: ten of us altogether.

Itravels, trips and plansTSE's 1933 westward tour to Scripps;a8TSE's itinerary;a4 have practically decided to come straight to Claremont (stopping in New York with Henry for a night or two) as nobody wants lectures just then, and visit St. Louis on my way back from the coast. So I hope, my love, that you will not mind if I appear dusty & travelstained about New Years Day. Will you please tell me what clothes I ought to bring for your climate? I have no idea whether it is cool, tepid or torrid. I only dread the insipidity of life after I have seen you and come away again. And now I must leave for Ada’s. I wonder whether, my poor child, you will have felt especially lonely to-day.
