Dearest Emily,

I19 Carlyle Mansions, Londonits post-war condition;a4 had a rather busy week, as two mornings had to be spent over this flat. I went on Monday morning to meet the builder there: his judgment was that we should save money by taking the more expensive of the two, as it needed less repair. Also, being on the third floor, it has a delightful outlook over the river, whereas the view from the ground floor flat was obstructed by trees. The last tenant, of course, removed everything that could possibly be removed, down to the draining board in the scullery. OnHayward, Johnflat-hunting with;l9 Tuesday I met John there, come up for the day by car from Cambridge. OneBennett, Viviennewaits on JDH;a2 of his numerous obliging ladies was also waiting for him, on a bicycle: her name was given as Miss Vivienne Bennett. He arrived half an hour late, and dismissed the lady; but soon another lady arrived, a Mrs. Bowen, whom he sent away after half an hour – she came back later with a tape measure, and then wheeled him off to lunch at her house nearby. We found that the lift accommodates his chair comfortably; and the porter, encouraged by an odd half crown or two, seems very favourably disposed: that is to say, I think he will try to conceal the existence of this flat from further enquirers. The flat is large, and we shall not be able to furnish it completely; but it is one in which we need not see any more of each other than we want to, and the kitchen quarters (with a bedroom the other side of the kitchen) are away at the end of a corridor behind a door. But I don’t know whether we shall get it or not. First the builder has to make his estimate, then put in his application to the borough council, supported by a statement from ourselves to explain why we have no other quarters, and why our presence in London is in the National Interest. Now someone tells me that you have to take a flat before you apply for the licence to repair. If so, that is awkward, and I have written to my solicitor to find out. So I don’t know where I am.

Meanwhile14 Elvaston Place, Londondescribed;a2, the lodging in Queen’s Gate Gardens seems very quiet, and highly respectable. A few elderly wraiths, of the South Ken. parishioner variety, flit about, but otherwise it is very quiet. Except on the third morning, when the other man on the same landing (whom I have not seen) who has the room next the bathroom, left his wireless on and his door a jar [sic] while he was in the bathroom, seemingly to enjoy the morning music in his bath. I could be there for days without speaking to anybody, as the breakfast comes up on a servants’ lift, and a whistle blows twice to indicate that it is my breakfast. There is running water in the bedroom, concealed in a sort of box; the box, and the attempt to disguise the bed as a divan by disposing a couple of sofa cushions on it, constitute the bed-sitting room.

This business of moving occupies most of my waking conscious moments, and I resent the fact. If we do get this flat, all the affairs connected with it will take a good deal of time for months, and I shall be content if we are installed and in working order by Christmas; and then I can settle down to some continuous work, the impossibility of which is an irritant at present, and the difficulty of which has been a nuisance for the last five years. Andtravels, trips and planspossible post-war American visit;f6and Henry's impending death;a5 it would be a satisfaction to have a permanent abiding-place, before the time comes when it will be permissible to travel freely and come to America. IncidentallyEliot, Henry Ware, Jr. (TSE's brother);j3, I don’t feel too happy about Henry’s health, and during these last two or three years that has been much on my mind.

AsMurder in the Cathedral1945 Théâtre du Vieux Colombier production;g2royalties;a6 it is, I am not even permitted to let the royalties of Murder accumulate in Paris to use there: they have to be transferred to London (when I get any) and I can’t take more than ten pounds out of the country to go anywhere. AshleyDukes, Ashleyreports on TSE's continental productions;g9 Dukes tells me that it is said that the play has been doing well; andFamily Reunion, Theplays in Zurich;h9 ‘Family Reunion’ has been played in Zurich. I had not been told about this; but fortunately, he is now in Germany, in charge of German theatres, and has promised to find out about Zurich and see that I get paid. IFluchère, Henrihis translation of Murder;a2 have not yet had any royalties from the people in Neuchatel who published the book of Murder, nor has Fluchère either!1

I wait to hear more about your summer. You did not mention Grand Manan, so I suppose you do not want to go there.

IPerkins, Edith (EH's aunt);h1 had a nice letter from Mrs. Perkins on the occasion of their wedding day, which I answered this morning.

Lovingly
Tom
