My Dearest Sylvia,

I wish that you could have been with me this afternoon to Beckett's. He has a very nice collection: portraits by Kneller, Highmore, Riley, and Lely (two fine ones): landscapes by Wilson (about eight), Turner and Constable and Moralnd, &c. I imagined the ones you would have liked and this increased my pleasure. One day in the future we might be able to visit him together if you like. He has lent me lots of photographs of Hogarths and given me addresses to write to: I must get in touch next with Antal. Klingender said he is stern but Beckett says he's nice. All this is not irrelevant in what is designedly a love letter because the application I bring to this work has, as you know, an inspiration sweeter than scholarship.

Our talk this morning has made me less agitated and if I worried you before it was only because I was over-anxious. The possibility of sharing your life was suddenly brought close and at the same moment communication became terribly difficult when it should have been easy. These two things combined upset me. (The coolest Dandylion could hardy remain unaffected.) But remember, dearest love, that to live simply by not upsetting Michael, keeping things going on his own irrational terms, is an impossible and humiliating situation to maintain for long though for your dear sake I am accepting it now.

I hope you have a nice time at the Bergmanns. The glimpse you gave me of them on the beach at Pett with you made them sound very pleasant. I expect a Visit will do you both good after working in the flat so long. Alas, that I could not have come along in a practical role:

I love you, I love you.

Lawrence.

Please turn me up this way.
