My Dear,
This is the first opportunity to write since last week, and all that really matters is to thank you for the letter which I found on my return from Leeds, and to say that I am impatiently awaiting the 4.45 train tomorrow afternoon.

I thought that we worked this out, andSeaverns, Helen;d4 agreed that I could give Mrs. Seaverns a miss, in view of the special complications of this summer. I hope that this will be allright, and that you can carry out your intention of coming to town for a few days before the 12th August, and getting away to the sea – if possible, or somewhere else – during Mrs. S.’s stay. Astravels, trips and plansEH's 1939 England visit;d5TSE's 2–4 September Campden visit;a9 for the weekends in September, until you sail, you may be sure that I shall not engage them, and hope that I may come to Campden on the 1st for the weekend, and then you will spend a night or two in town before you sail.

Book sent off to Scripps. The cheque more than covers the cost. I should have been glad to present the book myself, and am sorry that it is paid for.
And now I shall leave you till tomorrow night. ItLittle Gidding;a5 has been pouring with rain, but just at this moment the sun has peeped, and you may be sure that I am placing hopes in the weather tomorrow night, for the sake of the moment under the yew tree.1
