26 May 1939
Dearest,

Your letter of the 16th arrived, and I can assure you that there has been a letter every week, but sometimes it arrives a post or two after I have written. I apologise for having asked you to cable, and I hope you will remember the cost so that I can refund it. I should have made a note of Georgianna (it doesn’t look quite right, but that is how it was in the cable) at the time. The books went off last night, so they should arrive in good time.

MrsSeaverns, Helen;d1. Seaverns, who seemed in pretty good shape, considering that she had been having a great do with International Women’s Clubs the previous week, hadPerkinses, the;i7 heard from Mrs. Perkins, and confirmed your statement of their arrival on June 5th. She added that they were going straight to Campden, but I suppose that Mrs. Perkins will be up in town one day not long after that, otherwise I shall probably not see them until you are here. It is a relief to have all this settled. Mrs. Seaverns seems to be expecting you at Millbank for a week. MyFowler-Seaverns, James;a3 evening for dining with her fell out well, as Jim had left that morning to fly to Australia for six months, and I think she was rather depressed by that. She wants to go to Campden for the first two weeks of August, if she can be taken then. Parrott is as active as ever, it seems.

A.')and TSE's honorary fellowship;b4 RichardsMagdalene College, Cambridgemakes TSE an Honorary Fellow;a3 tells me that I shall have to go down to Cambridge for a night, at some time within the next three weeks, to be inducted into an Honorary Fellowship of Magdalene, but I have had no official notification of it yet: that would be a very agreeable kind of honour, more gratifying than any degree.1

I only regret that you cannot arrive before my family, so that we could lay our plans fully first; but I shall try to follow your injunction not to give them too much time! IBoutwood Lectures (afterwards The Idea of a Christian Society)being rewritten for publication;a9 hope that I shall just have finished putting my lectures in order, andOld Possum’s Book of Practical CatsTSE to design cover;c5 designing a cover for Cats, before the summer begins. There will have been no time for that holiday for myself.

TheRichardses, theleaving England for Harvard;a9 Richards’ also are going to America, though only definitely for three years, and are to be at Harvard. He seems very pleased with the prospect. They have been out of England so much that I can hardly say that I shall miss them badly, much as I like them. TheMorley, Frank Vigorwhat his leaving F&F will mean;i4 MorleysFaber and Faber (F&F)lose Morley to America;e1’ leaving is a very different affair; we shall not see clearly until into the winter how the business is going to settle down without him. He was invaluable, and in particular to my own designs, as he could be relied upon to support any of the books that I especially wanted to publish; and we were apt to agree in opposing certain others. ThePound, EzraMorley halves burden of;c5 chief burden that his leaving will impose upon me is that I shall have to take on the personal dealings with several authors whom he handled, whom no one else can handle so well – such as Ezra, a peculiarly difficult case.

Amongst other things he is marketing the Iron Lung. He has adoptive parents from Portland Maine but has never been in America before. He married a girl named Roper who is some collateral of St. Thos.
