My Dearest,

This week has brought your letter no. 14 of the 20th. I am sorry that nothing in the way of a letter reached you during that week; but as one knows nothing about sailings either of ships or planes, it will always be capricious, and it is always possible that odds and ends of enclosures may appear before letters. I was cheered by your letter; andEliot, Henry Ware, Jr. (TSE's brother)recovering at home;e8 also by getting more satisfactory news of Henry, who had finally returned home, and was able to write two letters himself. As he is very imprudent and negligent of his own health, andEliot, Theresa Garrett (TSE's sister-in-law)careless of Henry's health;a9 as Theresa does not seem able to keep him sufficiently under her thumb, in the way of ordinary precautions, I think he gives her a good deal of worry first and last. But his letters were good, and somewhat more reflective than usual. HeEliot, Henry Ware, Jr. (TSE's brother)his immaturity;b8 has never completely grown up.

TheOld Possum’s Book of Practical Catspublished in America;d3 Cats are published in New York, and I have at last had my copies delivered: not so attractive as the English edition, but American paper and print never is. I have not yet seen any reviews from there. (The Society does not appear till January). BothBoutwood Lectures (afterwards The Idea of a Christian Society)selling strongly;b5 books have been doing very well here, Catsfinances (TSE's)royalties from Cats;b5 selling about 250 a week, and Society varying from 180 to 400 a week: both are being reprinted. I get 10% royalty on each, but of course they are low priced books: still there ought to be a nice bit of royalty coming to me in March. My salary, about which you ask, remains the same – £500 p.a. But I am not giving any generous Christmas presents as the income tax is due on the 1st January, and, as you have seen, is now up to 7s. 6d. in the pound. Many people with much larger incomes than I will be much harder hit, however; for they will not have had the time to reduce their scale of living: I dare say the Treasury will have to arrange some deferred payment. The cost of books is of course going to rise, and we shall have to charge higher prices in the new year, so that publishing must feel its way gradually.

IRichmonds, themake their home over to maternity hospital;a8Richmond, BruceRichmonds, theRichmond, ElenaRichmonds, the had a pleasant weekend at the Richmonds, part of whose house is now given over to six mothers: they come out from the hospital when their babies are a few days old, remain about ten days, and are then replaced by new cases. These, at least, are working class women who are getting post-natal attention better than they would have had in time of peace; and the babies get a better start, though Lady R. would like to keep them longer before their return to their homes. On Sunday six little bassinets were lined up in the sun, as it was a pleasant mild morning; with six parasols tied on, and apparently [in] danger of being blown over by the wind, but the infants slept peacefully. TheMalcolm, Maj.-Gen. Sir Neil;a1 weather was fine in the morning: we drove over to Sir Neil Malcolm’s1 to lunch. IAll Souls Club, Thediscusses Encyclical;b4 had had on Friday a dinner of the All Souls Club, at which I had to open the discussion (I talked about the Encyclical in relation to Federation schemes) and on Monday night my usual committee, andMackworth, Margaret Haig, 2nd Viscountess Rhondda (née Thomas);a1 on Tuesday night dined, in the company of the Fabers and an unknown man from the F.O., at Lady Rhondda’s2 – she is the proprietor of Time & Tide: a nice, public spirited upper middle class Frognalian, somewhat of the feminist type (there is no Lord Rhondda, it is one of those cases in which a title can go in the female line; she is the daughter of the first and only Lord Rhondda). So I have felt a little tired and behind hand – have not even written my bread and butter to Lady Richmond.

WeEnglandLondon;h1in wartime;d4 are promised some better street lighting, which will be a boon; already cars have more lighting, so that it is not too difficult for them to get about after dark. I have ordered a spring suit (just to return your report of wardrobe!), just in case there should be – what with so many uniforms being made – there should be a shortage of good woolens [sic] later, with higher prices: then I ought to need no more wardrobe for several years to come. Excepttravels, trips and planspossible wartime transatlantic crossings;d7;a2 that, if I can come to America next autumn (and you see I keep the idea constantly in my mind) I shall need a very heavy overcoat – I should like a fur coat, and then leave it behind for Henry – with a collar that protects the Ears.

AnywayEliot, Samuel Atkins, Jr. (TSE's cousin)dominates theatre at Smith;a4, it is now nearly Christmas time, and with the New Year America and you will not seem quite so far away. I am glad of your satisfactory conversation with Miss Laughton; because, though I don’t want in the least to discourage you from keeping your eye open for a place somewhere else where you could do the more creative work, it is a good thing to appear ambitious and eager for advance along the present lines. As a rule, people don’t bother to push you forward unless they see that you want to push yourself; and to appear to thrive in one occupation is a better recommendation for another than to appear to stagnate. But I am sure that you could handle the theatricals better than Sam E., and it is exasperating to see things being done which one knows one could do better.

I must not count on coming next autumn; but I do not like to think long of separation except in that context. Meanwhile you must know that my thoughts and wishes are with you always.

Your loving
Tom

TSE wrote after Rhondda’s death: ‘I have been a reader of Time & Tide for more years than I can remember; I had been impressed by the integrity and independence of mind of its Proprietor and Editor long before I had met Viscountess Rhondda herself.

‘Many who knew her will have spoken of her kindness, of her hospitality (which I remember both in Surrey and in London), of the wide scope of her interests, and of her passionate sense of public responsibility … Among other excellences Viscountess Rhondda had the great and rare virtue of magnanimity’ (Time and Tide, 26 July 1958).
