Dearest Emily

I have not heard from you for over a fortnight, and suppose that you have been flitting about: the forecast of your summer arrangements which you gave me was very meagre, so I suppose your movements have not been arranged very far ahead. MeanwhileSecond World WarVJ Day;f8, the news about Japan is such as to lead to the hope that it may be possible, if financial restrictions are relaxed, to cross the Atlantic a year hence.1 The19 Carlyle Mansions, London;a6 question of our flat is still in suspense: I am hoping this week to have the builder’s estimate, and to make the application to the Board of Works. The landlord has been making difficulties over the alteration of plumbing, but the builder hopes that if we can produce a licence to do the work, he may be more amenable. I have had another tooth out, which was certainly poisoning me, and alternately, as is usual, feel much better and rather worse, according to the movements of the liberated poison. IShamley Wood, SurreyTSE's gradual removal from;b7 am clearing up at Shamley, taking a little more up to London every week, and trying to make arrangements for the moving up of two box-loads of books, which constitute the greatest problem. Hereaftertravels, trips and plansTSE's 1945 September fortnight in Lee;f7;a3, I shall be at Shamley only from Friday to Monday, until the middle of September when I go to Lee for a fortnight: so Russell Square is now my only address. If14 Elvaston Place, London;a3 I get the flat, it might be ready for occupation before Christmas: if not, I shall stop at 14 Elvaston Place until another flat is found.
