Cara Emilia
Your sweet note was very welcome on Friday. It is however a recognition of the importance of your last letter, that it kept me quiet for three weeks! or nearly. ForGalitzi, Dr Christine;a5 in the middle of this week Iflowers and floragladioli;b4sent to EH in TSE's name;a1 received an enigmatic letter from Miss Galitzi (which I have answered! trying to polish up my French) mentioning in secrecy her own prank <les glaieules! 1 a flower I loathe> ; andHale, Emilyas director ('producer');v9Lady Gregory's The Dragon;a2 it gradually came over me that this was not the Dragon at all, but another escapade. Well, I congratulate you – Miss G. says that it was a great success, and that the audience applauded you fervently; IHale, Emilyas actor;v8as Lady Bracknell;b8 shall expect to hear of your frequent appearance at Padua Hills next winter.2 It was bound to happen sooner or later; but after the reports about your neuritis (I suspect that drive about Yosemite had something to do with the neuritis) I nearly jumped out of my skin. I heard more about it in a letter from Mrs. Perkins the next day: I have just been dining with them. I like your laconic way of referring to it: ‘PlayedPole, Reginaldacts opposite EH in Claremont;a1 Lady Bracknell three times last week with Reginald Pole – of Padua Hills’. I should not have known who Lady Bracknell was but for Mrs. Perkins (I have read the play, but a long time ago);3 and I don’t know who Reginald Pole is unless he is a descendant of Cardinal Pole;4 IWilde, Oscarenvied by TSE;a1 am rather jealous of Oscar however, being a germinating playwright myself. PleaseHale, Emilyas actor;v8TSE begs to write part for;b9 may I write a play for you some day? and you will probably say that you hate that part. Is Padua Hills too conservative to produce a play by Mr. Eliot, if it was written especially for you to play??? ButHale, EmilyTSE's names, nicknames and terms of endearment for;x3'Bouche-de-Fraise';b5 seriously, Bouche-de-Fraise,5 I admire you immensely for being able to accomplish such a tour-de-force; and I dare say that after having been cut off from acting for so long, it was a great relief to you to do it; and somehow I gather from your tone that you are satisfied with your performance. I must re-read the play as soon as I have a moment’s time, for I don’t remember Lady B. at all.
IHinkley, Eleanor Holmes (TSE's first cousin);b8 looked in at the Hinkley’s yesterday afternoon, and Eleanor showed me (after looking it over carefully to assure herself that there was nothing private) a letter from you to her & Penelope in which you mentioned the prospect of coming East for a short visit and returning to Seattle with the Perkins’s. I gather from the Perkins’s that they hardly expect you. However, in case you are not settled, I may tell you that I shall be out of the way. MyDunster HouseTSE gives paper at;a1 programmePhilosophical ClubTSE gives paper to;a1 is: two speeches this week (Philosophical Club and Dunster House) oneAnglo-Catholic Congress, Elizabeth, New JerseyTSE speaks at;a1 next week at New York (Anglo-Catholic Congress at Elizabeth N.J.) then a few days of calm (relative); thenColumbia Universityconfers degree on TSE;a1 return to New York on June 5 to get my Columbia degree (I told the Perkins’s of this and was pleased that they should be pleased), thenAmericaRandolph, New Hampshire;g91933 Eliot family holiday in;a1 hopeEliots, the Henry;a3 to go straight from New York withSheffields, theand the Eliot family Randolph holiday;b4Sheffield, Alfred Dwight ('Shef' or 'Sheff')
Now I have told you my plans, may I have yours. If you don’t come east, what will you do in the meantime? And you really are not in a position to chide me for over-doing, are you? I shall get a week in New Hampshire, a week on the boat, and I intend to lead a very quiet life this summer.
Eleanor was full of glee at the possibility of your coming – I think she is very fond of you and appreciative to the best of her ability – speculated over the possibility of your coming by aeroplane.
ThisPerkinses, the;d1 began as only a brief note: I have taken to sleeping through my alarum clock this week, so must try to go to bed early. The Perkins’s were very sweet to me, and I hope to go in once more to say good-bye. DrChristianityUnitarianism;d9according to Dr Perkins;a8. Perkins gave me a very depressing account of the decay of the Unitarian Church, includingEliot, Revd Christopher Rhodes (TSE's uncle)commits heresy;a6 a really abominable heretical saying of my Uncle Christopher. But Unitarianism had to go sooner or later; I saw that years ago; I hope (and predict) that King’s Chapel will eventually return to the fold: but I must add, with reference to Boston in particular, ‘what a fold!’ IAmericaCalifornia;d3TSE dreads its effect on EH;a8 Hope [sic] you will be able to come east, and am sorry that you cannot come to Europe. I do not like to think what the effect of two solid years west of the Rockies might be upon your character & view of life. I shall be able to write a more personal and satisfactory kind of letter than this, I hope, by Wednesday night.
