This morning I have prepared tomorrow's Turner lec-
ture and am sitting on Blackheath station waiting
for the train to town, where, at 6, my father & I are
going to the South Bank. It is a warm sunny day though
not without sudden chilly jabs of wind every
now and again. I hope you are now spared the
musical TINGS in the hall of the Rectory.

The film man I met yesterday was useless but I
have 2 more contacts yet to see, one film, one publi-
city in general. Last night John & I were late &
the Coopmans - with whom we lunched - to somebody
else's feat. I cannot remember his name. Most
of the time was spent listening - reluctantly but
politely - to somebody else who's name I missed
recording what can only be described as C. chapters
of his novel. It is too sophisticated, he told us,
for ordinary publishers - most of whom have re-
jected it. Happily a bottle of Italian vermouth
was at my elbow & my host sufficiently thought-
ful to encourage me to refill my glass, more than
once. Even so - I sometimes wonder why I bother
to leave my books, my bed.

I heard from somebody yesterday, that Sir
Osbert is very unwell indeed - He rose from bed
to visit Black Eyes & Lemonade recently, however.

LATER
As you perhaps gather from the handwriting
the last paragraph above was written in the train. I
am now in Lyons having tea, having just left the
S.E.A. Miss Chick has offered me a lecture at
Chelmsford on 5th Oct. Unfortunately she has
