My dearest Lady,

I might have written to you last night and caught an earlier boat: why did I not? Because I went to bed at 9.30 and slept until 8 in the morning – waking up of course, but not for long at a time. Why I need so much sleep, I don’t know; it is a vexation. Partly because I had had short nights before – SaturdayHayward, John;g1 night I dined with John, and had to get up for 8 o’clock mass on Sunday – SundayTandys, theTSE's Hampton weekends with;a1 night I spent at the Tandys in Hampton, and to bed late and up early to get back to town for the 10.30 mass – and Monday night to bed fairly early but up for the 8 o’clock mass for St. Thomas of Canterbury. But that doesn’t account for it. One needs more sleep when engaged on chores than when doing anything in which one is intensely interested. Yesterday I had to lunch the Revd. Mr. Howell of New York, and that was very fatiguing, though I can’t explain why. A friend of my brother and his wife. Having people to lunch is as tiring as anything: I lunched alone to-day, and although I had my committee afterwards, andO'Donovan, BrigidTSE in bad odour with;b9 then a session dictating letters to Miss O’Donovan – who is difficult, although she has her congé at the end of the week, and I shall have to do without a secretary for another week – I don’t feel so tired as last night.

AndWilliams, CharlesSeed of Adam;b6 also go to Chelmsford on Saturday week to speak a word (fifteen minutes) on behalf of Charles Williams’s Epiphany Play being produced there under the auspices of the Bishop of that diocese.1

I look forward to my post-Christmas mail from America: to know whether you got my cable, and what you did at Christmas, and where you spent the following week (this week) and I suppose you are back in Northampton, at Crescent Road, on Monday the 4th January, for surely the vacation is not more than a fortnight. The next milestone is Easter, andtravels, trips and plansEH's 1937 summer in England;c7;a4 after that July, when you will sail for England – or I hope the end of June.

SoMurder in the Cathedral;c6 much has happened since I finished ‘Murder in the Cathedral’, that I wonder how I shall feel when I finally sit down and say to myself ‘on what date, and where, will I be when I can next be alone, for the first time since September 27th last, with my dear?’

to my dearest Emilie
from her Tom.
