Friday evening
Dearest Sylvia:
Thank your for your story. Written at such speed and prompted as it was by negative reactions, I must say I think it is ex-
cellent. Especially I like the ways things go on while the characters speak: there is no unreal suspension during speech. You have 'caught' them, and the social milieu, very well. do agree with the Woods, however, that it has not quite been taken to the end. I ought to know: it's my idea.

My feelings are mixed: admiration for what you have written; rueful at your deflationary speed and crispness. You make me feel my idea was morbid and fancy and that what I had written was over-written (as it well may be). It is odd to see my idea differently handled, so that I am 'scooped' as well as criticised. My idea was not, as you seem to feel, aimed at us, however obliquely. Its genesis was different. I will write again when I have re-read the story and thought it over carefully.

Carter did not come last night but I spent a very pleasant evening with Magda and John. Definitely, however, I shall see Carter next week. I have another idea for an operetta, somewhere between Hemingway and Offenbach, in which it is like-
ly that Frank could be interested. That I could write straight. I think if I can write the proper things I can get work on TV and Sound. Magda as my agent, in effect.

Your visit to Rye with Beryl sounds enchanting (despite the behavior of the secretary of the Rye Artists).

My lectures have all gone rather nicely. The discussion at Hampstead was not too bad: I adopted an existentialist point of view towards art for the evening, as it was a discussion and I supposed liveliness was expected. I might just as well not have bothered. Nobody knew what I meant and Dennis and Freddie only said what they only too obviously believed in.

I have finished the Sutherland-Moore article. I am, at the moment, terribly pleased with it: I hope I've got Sutherland exactly. However, I may think differently when I see it in print next week. Christ but it was a rush.

If I am not to miss the 7.00 collection I must stop now, but you will get this before the week and if I go now. So, my darling, my beauty, I love you, I adore you, and am happy that we shall soon meet. I love love love you
