9 October 1945
My dearest Emily

I have your letter of September 27; it is so long since I have written a proper letter that I must be rather dim in your memory! Whiletravels, trips and plansTSE's 1945 September fortnight in Lee;f7described;a6 I was at Lee, I wrote only that note to you and a note of instructions to my secretary, and never touched pen to paper otherwise. I was really not at all well when I went away, and somewhat regretted not having been able to arrange my holiday earlier or later: but since my return, with injections and treatment twice a week, I am getting steadily better. Not that the holiday did me no good; and though the weather has been much finer since my return, it was good enough. It is a rainy country, and more than once I got caught in showers; but no day was wholly bad. SoHayward, John;m2 youEnglandDevon ('Devonshire');e5its scenery;a4 know Lee – everybody seems to know Lee – John Hayward knows it well – butBehrens, Margaret Elizabeth (née Davidson)settled in Lee;c6 I had never heard of it until the Field Marshal settled there. I thought it was too late in the season to start to bathe, even if I had been feeling more robust; butMirrlees, Hopebathing daily at Lee;c8 Hope Mirrlees, who came later and is still there, bathed every day – but then she is rather fat, and also walks down in a fur coat, which she casts off just before entering the water. There are only two walks – one to Morthoe andEnglandIlfracombe, Devon;g2hideous;a2 one to Ilfracombe (one of the ugliest seaside place in England, I should think[)]; but I got to Bideford one day and to Barnstable Fair another. IEnglandCornwall;e2compared to North Devon;a2 should not care to live in North Devon, the scenery is too Celtic and suggestive sometimes of Wales and sometimes Cornwall; but it is a pleasant coast to visit. An odd collection of people acquired by the Field Marshal, but quite pleasant on a short visit, and when one has private lodgings to retire to. Mrs. Kindon the landlady looked after me very well, and the only objection to her house was that there were too many people to use the bathroom, and I always seemed to be the last in, when the water was beginning to run cold. But my dear, how you manage sharing a bathroom through the winter with seven! I hope that at least you have a fixed wash-basin in your room. At14 Elvaston Place, Londondescribed;a2 Elvaston Place I share with two others, which is not so bad, and have a basin in my room, only the water is not so hot there. NextCheetham, Revd Eric;g3 to me is elderly Miss Kelso, a typical old-time parishioner of Cheetham. Last Sunday I was rather disturbed to find on my tray a piece of mutton no bigger than a biscuit; this was explained after lunch, when Anne the Irish housemaid came flying up to tell me that I had taken Miss Kelso’s tray by mistake, and Miss Kelso does not like meat. So now the trays are labelled. I have an extra pint of milk ordered by my doctor. My19 Carlyle Mansions, Londonrefurbishments to;a5 other news is that the flat negotiations have come to what I hope is only a temporary halt. Eventually my builder got the licence for carrying out the needed repairs – but the licence was valid only if the work could be started in two weeks: and he is too busy to be able to start in two weeks, as he is doing imperative work for the Holborn Borough Council. So I am trying to persuade him to apply for an extension, giving a date on which he could start. Otherwise one must try to find another builder who is less busy, and that, just now, might be very difficult indeed.

JustNicholson, NormanThe Old Man of the Mountains;a2 before I left I went to theBrowne, Elliott MartinNew Plays by Poets series;d7 first night of ‘The Old Man of the Mountains’, theMercury Theatre, Londonhosts New Plays by Poets;c7 first play in Martin’s season at the Mercury. ItSpeaight, Robertas Elijah in Nicholson's debut;e3 is good, I think; the interpretation of the character of a prophet (it is the story of Elijah and the Raven laid in Cumberland) was very moving, and Bobby Speaight took it well. ButBrowne, Elliott Martinas director;d8 of course it is the play of a beginner, and that touch of amateurishness which Martin always gives to his productions – butBrowne, Henzie (née Raeburn)in Old Man of the Mountains;b1 perhaps it is more in his acting (he was the Raven) and in Henzie’s acting (not very convincing as the wife of a Cumberland farmer talking dialect) and the fact that there is too long a prologue, may have contributed to give a poor press. SoDuncan, RonaldThis Way to the Tomb;a5 everything depends upon the success of ‘This Way to the Tomb’ by Ronald Duncan, which has its first night on this Thursday – I think, a more theatrical piece of work which ought to be successful. I shall send you these plays, of course, as soon as we have published them.

I am glad to think you are so happy in your new lodgings. How about your meals: do you have to eat all your meals with other people? What compensates for the comforts and kindness of Shamley is being able to have meals alone, and I hate to think of your never having any privacy. What about breakfast? do you get [y]our own? How big a room have you? I wish you had two rooms: that is the drawback to my lodging, I can never feel at home without two rooms, to go from one to the other. This letter may reach you before your birthday, but I shall send you my kiss in a cable. ThatHale, Emilybirthdays, presents and love-tokens;w2EH gives TSE a signet ring;c4 ring is never off that finger except in very cold weather, when I sometimes put it on to the right hand instead – the fingers shrink in cold weather, and the right hand is larger. And I never wore it when I bathed, for fear of its slipping off into the sea. But I have not bathed since 1940.

IChurchill Club, ThePoe talk for;a4 have to give myPoe, Edgar AllanTSE's Churchill Club talk on;a2 last talk to the Churchill Club1 next week – no, week after next – on Edgar Poe:2 after that the Churchill Club closes. And'Unity of European Culture, The'intended for German audience;a1 IGermanyTSE's post-war sense of duty to;b8 may have to do a wireless talk to Germany at the end of the year; and I may at some time during the winter have to fly over to Germany for a couple of days only, to talk to some troops: they are said to be suffering from fearful boredom, as well as from the depression of the surroundings. Otherwise, I shall try to make no engagements this winter: I have just declined to make the prize-day speech at Wolverhampton Grammar School

With very much love
Tom.
