Dearest Girl,
IFamily Reunion, Thepossible limited Mercury run;f7 have no news of the play, exceptMercury Theatre, Londonpossible venue for Family Reunion;b9 that I have now fixed the 30th of March as the publication date if no production is arranged this season. The only possibilities of that seem to be a small production for a limited run at the Mercury, to try it out, orGielgud, Johnrenews interest in Family Reunion;a5 a Gielgud matinée production in March or April. After that would be late, and I think it would be better then to aim at September: and I do not think that publication will do any harm to a production in the next season: it is only if the play were published and produced in the same season that I feel it important to synchronise. IHale, Emilygiven Family Reunion draft with her comments;l3 shall have returned the page proofs by Monday, and then I shall be ready to send you the script which has your own comments on it – that is the one you wanted, isn’t it. ThereEliot, Henry Ware, Jr. (TSE's brother)given draft of Family Reunion;d9 will be another version to satisfy Henry with. IFamily Reunion, Theits defects;f8 should like to look forward to starting to outline another play in the autumn: and this time I want to avoid what I think is a defect inherent in the substance of the Reunion: the lack of a clear surface plot which the dullest of the audience can grasp at once. WhenBoutwood Lectures (afterwards The Idea of a Christian Society)being prepared;a2 I have got rid of these Cambridge lectures I shall be ready to think of verse again; butBrowne, Elliott Martinand Tewkesbury pageant;c6 IHale, Emilyadvises TSE against Tewkesbury choruses;l6 am thankful that I followed your advice in not tying myself up with Tewkesbury choruses. I shall probably want to take several weeks to revise the lectures for publication, which will carry me to the end of March or perhaps April: aftertravels, trips and planspossible TSE 1939 visit to America;d4complicated by Marion and Dodo's trip;a2 which I think a small holiday is desirable. Whether it can bring me to America is unknown; and that design is interfered with by the intention of Marian and Dodo to sail about the 10th of June. As you wouldn’t get away from Northampton till considerably after that date, my visit in May would not be of very much use to us. And if anything did interfere with your coming to England, I should want to come over late in the summer.
IPerkins, Edith (EH's aunt);d9 am glad that you mentioned the handkerchief from Mrs. Perkins. I rummaged in my chest and found that I had put away the parcel before Christmas and forgotten that it was there. It is a very pretty and handsome handkerchief indeed, and I have now written to them, c/o yourself. Remember not to write again to 11, Grenville Place.
ISecond World Warprognostications as to its outbreak;a4 have no idea, and no one seems to have any idea, whether another crisis is to be expected in the spring. Some folk even take refuge from uncertainty in Old Moore’s Almanack, which predicts mobilisation in April, but no war. There seems some reassurance in the plan for the King and Queen to visit Canada in April. And, as one can do nothing about it …

I was to have seen the latter last week, on the occasion of the production of Murder by some Catholic school boys at Westminster Cathedral Hall (for the benefit of the Refugees) but for my illness. Andanti-Semitismand the prospect of immigration;c5 I am concerned about the refugees – if they are allowed to collect indefinitely in Britain there is great risk of eventual anti-semitism here: but where are they to go? And there is no denying that Jews in the mass are antipathetic!

by TSE, violent, clarified and strengthened by Chipping Campden reunion, disquiets EH, obstructive to EH loving another, TSE initially relieved to find unrequited, queered by inexperience, TSE repents of over-prizing, startles TSE, like 'a burglar', strengthened and deepened, irrespective of physical beauty, finally reciprocated, ideal when unreciprocated, relieved only by poetry, as against love's travesties, as expressed in Burnt Norton, over time, apparently undimmed but dwarfed by war, and the first time TSE spoke EH's name, thwarted by question of divorce, EH questions, now better adjusted
