Beloved Emily

A fortnight has elapsed since in [I] last wrote, but I warned you of that. I felt rather tired on my return, so wrote no letters during the first few days, but read arrears of manuscripts. BackDemant, Revd Vigo Auguste;b5 tomorrowtravels, trips and plansTSE's 1941 Northern tour;e3arranged with Demant;a2 to London, to spend one night in Richmond with Demant – I have to see him about the Newcastle conference, and the only way is to go to him – and one with the Fabers.

TheUniversity of BristolTSE's Lewis Fry Lectures;a3 BristolLewis Fry LecturesTSE on delivering;a3 engagement passed off well, I think. It was the first time I had seen that stricken city since the war began: I stayed again with the Vice-Chancellor out at Clifton. I'Development of Shakespeare's Verse, The'revised again for Bristol;b1 had not had time to do very much to the lectures, whatChoice of Kipling's Verse, Aapproved by Kipling's daughter;a5 with finishing the Kipling (which has now been passed by Mrs. Bambridge) and indeed I found that the only sort of changes I wanted to make were in the direction of lengthening them, which I must leave until I can revise them thoroughly to make a small book: so I contented myself with asking them to give me half the fee. IUnderhill, Revd Francis, Bishop of Bath and Wellsvisited in Wells;d4 wentEnglandWells, Somerset;j7TSE on visiting;a1 from there to Bath, dined there, and met the Bishop in the Pump Room after dinner, and we motored over to Wells. It was a fine moonlit night; we crossed Mendip and I saw Wells for the first time by moonlight. YouWells Cathedral;a1 no doubt know it: fine minster mostly XIV century, nave 000 ft. [sic] long etc. rather distinguished by the inverted arches to support the tower, which give it a modern engineering sort of look, but the tower itself very fine. The swans are still allowed to ring their bell for lunch, but the palace is mostly given over to a School for Daughters of the Clergy who can be heard reciting their lessons, and who peep round corners and appear with autograph books. The headmistress wanted me to say a few Words to them after chapel, but the Bishop mercifully prevented that. TheEnglandSomerset;i8;a3 Bishop and his sister live in a few of the smaller rooms – it is a rambling place one could get lost in – with a cook and two small local maids with strong Somerset accents (‘oor zhoes, zur?’) but there is a chauffeur still and a gardener. On Sunday afternoon he took me over to a village where he preached at evensong, and tea with the vicar and his wife: weEnglandGlastonbury, Somerset;f4;a1 stopped at Glastonbury but the abbey was closed. I had never visited that part of Somerset before, and liked it very much: also it has more fine churches than I had supposed. It took me most of Monday to get back to town: Wells is an out of the way place.

Youtravels, trips and planspossible wartime transatlantic crossings;d7impossible for TSE unless official;a8 speak in your letter 102 (103 also arrived: the first from Northampton) of my coming over for a visit, but I do not think you realise how difficult that is. I doubt if it would be permissible for me to come just for a visit. I could only do it, if at all, by having some work of national importance to do, and I could not use any of my private funds. I should have to give lectures to pay my way, and I think I can be of more use here. Also it would be impossible to get back by a predetermined date: I might have to wait for a long time in Lisbon, and I don’t know what I should live on there. It is not that I do not want to come! But unless the Government sent me (and I do not see why it should) I should not be justified in going, or attempting to go, for private reasons; and I would not invent a public reason just to cover my personal motives. The situation is, and will be for a long time I fear, so very serious that I don’t think one should leave the country for any but a genuine public cause. WeSecond World WarOperation Barbarossa;c8 hope that you will be sending great and immediate aid to Russia.1 I wonder if you can see the position as I do.

I am glad to think that you are looking well, even if not brown. Your birthday cable arrived (just after I thought you had surely forgotten it: MegNason, Margaret ('Meg') Geraldinesends TSE birthday letter;a1 Nason faithfully wrote andCheetham, Revd Ericremembers TSE's birthday;d9 Cheetham sent a wire – I was here on my birthday – and as the wire was telephoned up to the house, MrsMirrlees, Emily Lina ('Mappie', née Moncrieff)surprises TSE with lobster and cigars;b9. M. got to know of it and provided a lobster for which Guildford was scoured, and a box of cigars for which Guildford was scoured also). I thought of you often on the beaches, though I did not imagine that you would try to bathe in such a very northern latitude, so perhaps I was there with you after all.

Your loving
Tom
