Dearest Sylvia,

Rest assured I will be discreet and I do hope that you
will not add to your anxieties by such fears. Your sug-
gestion about Skipp is one I had already reached. Have
no worry here and ascribe to Danylion the courteous im-
pregnable reserve of the Cortegiano.

I enclose two drawing - of masterpieces of Caroline
portraiture - a Dobson, in fine condition, and an unusual
Van Dyck. They are among the new exhibits at the Maritime
Museum. I looking in there yesterday when I went to change
my address on the ration book. (I find incidentally that
you can exist forever on emergency cards so that will help
you when you come here except for the points which we can give
Mrs Gardiner loose, I think.) But to return to the pictures -
they are magnificent and would, even in the N.G. be of
dazzling quality. I cannot wait for you to see them.

I have booked seats for Machiavelli's comedy at the Mercury for the 16th. I know nothing of the plot but I
am sure it must be enchanting. Incidentally my father is
getting the Phaidon biography of Lucretia for me (trade price) - that
promises to be fascinating. With all it shortcomings ,
and some of them are offensive, the Rahael is teaching me
a great deal. There are one or two Giorgione asides
which may interest you. while I study Roman you
are reading Venetian art: how I look forward to
reading your article!

One can make one's own tea here so that is pleasantly
useful. Mrs Gardiner's attitude is a reasonable one and
wee seem to getting on alright. I mean the afternoon
meal by 'tea' so it is cheap and fills in the gap. Dandy-
lion had two meat meals yesterday you will be glad to hear
and lots of tomatoes.

I hope you painted yesterday, and again today. Give
me all news. the two sections of our Epithalamion are
called The Wishes of the Bride and The Wishes of the Bride-
groom.

Would it be possible for you to lend me two clothing coup-
ons? I have hardly any socks and could thus buy a stout
pair. I'm sorry to ask you but I can repay you soon and
the need is urgent. Mother is very stern and won't part
