6 February 1934
Dear Lady Emily,

Somehow the present stage of our correspondence seems to require waiting for a reply before writing again – andHale, Emilycorrespondence with TSE;w3thwarted by TSE's self-loathing;f6 I have been in a state of depression and self-dislike not favourable to expansive letter-writing. Nevertheless I formed the habit of chattering to you, and I don’t to anyone else; and you are to a more inconvenient degree, for practical purposes, present in my mind when I don’t write than when I do, so here I am sitting down again.

I9 Grenville Place, Londoncompared to Courtfield Road;a1 move on Monday next – afterRichardses, thehost TSE for Cambridge weekend;a4 a weekend at Cambridge with the Richards’s whom you remember – I did not want to stay in South Kensington, but I have not had the time, or the heart, to look further; this next move will still be temporary, though for longer; and the opportunity presented itself. For the present, it will cost me the same price, and I shall get two nicely furnished rooms, instead of one badly furnished one; ICourtfield Roadmeal-times at;a5 shall have my meals served in my room alone, instead of dining among youths; the food can hardly be worse and will probably be better; my two rooms are self-contained; and there is no one in the house except the vicar, the curate, and one lodger whom I need never see. The out is that my bedroom faces the District Railway, so that I shall have to inure myself to the noise. The side of the sitting room gives upon the Cromwell Road.1

Either the Club or 24 Russell Square is good for letters – but please use one or the other consistently, in so far as you write at all – I mean so that I may not be anxiously looking at both places; butFaber and Faber (F&F);b7 I ask my personal correspondents to put PERSONAL on the envelope when they write to Russell Square, because I shall soon be having a new secretary, and they can’t be expected to know at first what letters they should open and not – I am the only one who has all his personal correspondence addressed there.

I have been busy enough. Week before last seemed to be filled with committees: oneEnglish Church Unionamalgamates with Anglo-Catholic Congress;a7 day mostly spent in business connected with the amalgamation of the English Church Unions with the Anglo-Catholic Congress (didWood, Charles, 2nd Viscount Halifaxdeath mourned;a6 your papers say anything about Lord Halifax’s death? a great loss, but expected, as he was 94); another morning and lunch over the Encyclopaedia, in consenting to be one of the assistant editors of which I have let myself in for a bigger job than I like; oneShakespeare Association Councilmeeting of;a1 afternoon the Shakespeare Association; oneSadler's Wells TheatreThe Friends of Sadler's Wells;b3Lilian Baylis impresses at;a3 a committee of the Old Vic Sadlers Wells Society, smart people and Lillian Bayliss [sic], who is a real picture-card and most likeable.2 And my ordinary committee twice a week. MyFaber and Faber (F&F)increases TSE's workload;b8 work at F. & F. tends to grow; we get more and more manuscripts, andMorley, Frank Vigorhis absence means more work;c8 as Frank Morley is in New York until Easter I have more to do. I loathe reading mss. of Novels: they all seem to be about such repulsive people – and the worst is that they stick in my head, like bad dreams, for days afterward. German politics, French memoirs, lives of Charles I etc. I don’t mind, or anything with information in it; IRoll, ErichTSE rewriting About Money;a1 am trying to improve the style of a Treatise on MONEY, written in English by a German.3 The usual interviews with helpless young men. AndPound, EzraTSE's reasons for disliking;b2 correspondence with Ezra Pound about his forthcoming works, and he writes at least once a day. DoRead, HerbertTSE formulates his dislike for;a8 you ever find yourself in the position of almost intimate friendship with people whom you fundamentally don’t like, with the result that they irritate you almost beyond endurance? that is the way I feel towards Pound and Herbert Read. So far as I can formulate the antipathy, it is that they are both quite without religion and quite plebeian – but perhaps such feelings go deeper than one can put into words. It is a strain to have to keep up the pretense [sic] of social equality with one’s inferiors; I feel happier with servants, and more real equality with them.

ISociety of the Sacred Mission, Kelham Hall, NottinghamshireTSE's January 1934 weekend at;a7 spent a weekend at Kelham. I am fond of the place, although visits are not restful, and I am longing to tell them that I think these growing youths ought to have more green vegetables – the food is more than Spartan. Lectured on the afternoon of my arrival, read poetry to them the next evening, and in between chapel services interviewed lads singly, or took walks with them – not a moment to oneself. IChristianitypolitics;c5need for working-class priests;a3 intend to keep up a connexion there, however, because I think it is worth while keeping in touch with the priests of the future. They come from the most humble homes, mostly, mines and slums, and that is a type which, when taken young and well educated, we very much need in the Church – the old class distinctions cannot survive there. The ‘guestmaster’ who looked after my room, fetched hot water etc. comes from a London slum, and is a particularly refined and well-spoken boy.

TheMorleys, the;b8 subsequent weekend with the Morleys in Surrey, justMorley, Frank Vigortreasured and missed;c9 before Frank left. I miss him very much, as one of my most trusted friends.

OnAsh WednesdaySt. Martin's-in-the-Fields recital;b2 Friday I have to read Ash Wednesday at St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields (next Wednesday is the real Ash Wednesday). IRock, TheTSE busy on the prose;a9 have begun working on parts of the pageant which do not interest me very much; prose dialogues and speeches by historical characters. Looking up Robert Browne, the first Congregationalist; Pope Urban, Peter the Hermit, and the Crusades etc. WrittenMalory, Sir ThomasTSE on Le Morte Darthur;a1 an article on the Morte D’Arthur for the Spectator.4 Afascismessentially anti-Christian;a2 letterChurch TimesTSE on Fascism in;a1 about Fascismcommunismas against fascism;a7 to the Church Times5 (I have said so much about communism that I thought it was time I attacked fascism too – there would be no excuse for violent anti-semitism here, though there might be some cause, if not justification, in New York.

and continuing his illness and recovery down to the Repeal of the Corn Laws etc; final balloon ascent of myself and birds & beasts (Up up up to the Heaviside Layer!)9 It tends to turn into political satire, unfortunately.

IWoolfs, theand Tomlin dine with TSE;b6 should have mentioned dining informally with the Woolfs – one other guest, a young Tomlin10 – andHutchinsons, thedine in company with TSE;a8 with the Hutchinsons, withFry, Rogerunchanged with the years;a2 RogerAnrep, Helen;a1 Fry whom I had not seen for years, but the same old cocoa Roger, and Mrs. Anrep, wife of a Russian mosaic artist,11 but Scotch and born and brought up in California. This all sounds very crowded, one round of events, but I am really summing up several weeks. When I write in this way, it is partly for the pleasure of having somebody to whom I can write in this way (thinking much more of the somebody than of the contents of the letter) and partly for avoidance of the things I would be saying if I didn’t chatter. But the other way about, I do always want INFORMATION about you and yours!

IGalitzi, Dr Christine;b2 have at last written to Miss Galitzi – though I cannot soar to the heights of the figurative language of her correspondence in French. I am ashamed not to have written before. I wonder will she mention it to you.

Tom

No change in my private affairs. ExceptEliot, Vivien (TSE's first wife, née Haigh-Wood)separation from;f1financial settlement put into force;c3 that the new financial arrangement has been put into force. And that, I suppose, is as far as I can get.

3.SeeRoll, ErichTSE rewriting About Money;a1 TSE’s book committee report on a draft of About Money, by Erich Roll, dated 20 Mar. 1934:

I believe that what Geoffrey Faber asked Prof. Roll to write was a book rather for the general intelligent man of education but no technical knowledge. Whether or no, that is not what Roll has done. This is rather a thorough text book (I mean a book for the use of students) and I should think might have some sale in that way. If I am right, then it is a point to be noted in the advertising and pushing of it. It is a guide for those who may be going on to more advanced works by Keynes’s treatise on money. The style is certainly not vivacious, and the exposition is too seldom relieved by simple illustrations. It is like a school book in that it discusses one theory and another, finds the faults, and comes to no very clear conclusion.

I believe that there are places where the exposition is obscure; but as I was reading for grammatical faults and obscurities and ambiguities due to faulty sentence construction, and as I am no economist, I cannot comment on these. His sentence troubles arise whenever he attempts a very long sentence; these are very apt to get out of hand. I do not know whether the writing improves or whether my mind got dulled, but I did not find anything very bad in the last half of the book. I may have had lapses and missed a few; and he should go through the whole again, not merely the passages marked.—(Faber Archive)

9.SeeOld Possum’s Book of Practical Catsas outlined to GCF;a6n TSE’s memorandum to Geoffrey Faber, 6 Mar. 1936, adumbrating Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939):

I am more and more doubtful of my ability to write a successful book of this kind, and I had rather find out early that I can’t do it, than waste a lot of time for nothing. And this sort of thing is flatter if it is flat, than serious verse. Nobody wants to make a fool of himself when he might be better employed […] The idea of the volume was to have different poems on appropriate subjects, such as you already know, recited by the Man in White Spats. They would be of course in a variety of metres and stanzas, not that of the narrative which connects them. AfterOld Possum’s Book of Practical Catsand 'the Heaviside layer';a7n this opening there would only be short passages or interludes between the Man in White Spats and myself. At the end they would all go up in a balloon, self, Spats, and dogs and cats.

—————Up up up past the Russell Hotel,

—————Up up up to the Heaviside Layer.’

There are several ways in which this might be a failure. The various Poems (how many should there be?) might not be good enough. The matter such as here attached may be not at all amusing: a book simply of collected animal poems might be better.
