I have heard from the Civil Service Commissioner-I have been unsuccessful. Ronald Alley (who worked at the Tate before) has got the assist. Keepership and (who was also at the Tate before) has got the Deputy Keepership. However I console myself with the fact I did get on the short list at least. No word from Woolwich or York yet-not even acknowledgements.
Yesterday I went to Brighton where my father is recovering tho' with a number of rather neurotic delays. He (as they say) is worrying about himself. We all went to the pavillion and enjoyed that. In the afternoon we went for a walk which included the Palace Pies. 'Elevenses' and 'tea' at Zetlands-lunch & dinner at the hotel. All the meals were excellent. The hotel is Mockley's, on the front, King's street, near the West . My parents are comfortable there-do you know it?
I have not been sleeping terribly well but last night I went to bed as soon as I got in & slept from 10.30 to 10. As is so short this week I am eating breakfast in the Lewislan ABC. Soon I shall go to the library: then to Ted: then to the V and A (slides-Toulouse Lautrec) & then home again. Barnstead has asked me to go on after Xmas, by the way.
Time is slipping away and I must continue with my day's actions. I will write you again very soon, probably this afternoon. Meanwhile I just had to send my love. I love you Lawrence
