Wed. just before tea.

Dear Fido,

A type ribbon came, marked "sample". I have put it in my
table drawer. I found the cigarettes, will send on the pages,
just the few, let me know if you want more, there are such a
lot together. Anyhow, this is 2 sections, there are 8
more. I am TERRIBLY keen on reading it all, and will post
these two, read, then read the others over dinner, and prob.
post them all, no harm done. You said about 12 pages, I think
you must have meant 12 sections. Anhow --- no harm will be
done.

Enclosed from Rover, rather dumb. Destroy when read. He is
very kind- but you know - maybe later, I will get keyed again.

Long letter from M.C. She now
confesses that events in Europe have such intense significance
as she was isolated so long in Australia. That must be it.

It is almost intelligent letter - rather gloomy about Austria.
She says I would regret it if I did not go and Freud was
killed - cheerful for me. However... I am busy tearing
up papers and am really very keen and glad now, I did make
this decision.

French poetry is and will be, saving me ....

I send a sample from Kuhl, just re-adressed it, it
seemed indicated.

No other letters for you.

Much love. Lovely sun-light. I will be thinking
of you all along the line.

This is dumb and fragmentary- have just torn up
all old galleys( ?) of the little vols.
"greet the brethern. "

Love to old Pup and

It was good to hear your voice and the
Puss, give her my love. I want all news. I was in
my room and the Celestial danced up, it took her sometime,
then I ran down. But you need never waste time telling
me the three minutes is up- it was such a waste of time, I
knew that. It was very, VERY nice of you to call me up at
all, and I had your good little wire earlier in the day.

Lovely sun-light.

I am working at German and French
it is supposed to be Aquanian to know languages - now hold the right
thought- do NOT scare-monger too much, dear Fido.

Ever and even so much love

Dear Fido,

I just sent you off wire. I had card from"papa",
to say I am to have hour 5-6, the same as
last time ; it is very nice. The hotel
seems to have a lot of people, English I think.
They say there is a lot in way of opera etc.
now. Anyhow, everything looks just the same. I
must say it is a shock though, to leave Vaud.
It is cold here and foggy, just like London,
or just like Paris. Its strange how it I S like
Paris here. It struck me so this time.

People are very, very nice - but so odd,
after Vaud. I was simply hypnotized on
colour and air there. I began to notice the
change in the night- and could not sleep. Its

3.

gollywog atmosphere. I will deliver
all messages possible to papa, this
afternoon. O - it IS funny to be here.
I expect Pup to burst in or Mouse, will
you convey my ever-lasting love to Pup.
Please tell her to cheer-up the old home ,
I am sorry its all like that- but it always
is always like that ( a rose is a)

I don't know what is the matter
with Cole. I had a tiny note from her, just
before I left and wrote her- but its so
sticky, one gets nowhere, with her
inhibitions - all so essentially Anglais
must say I am glad old Kex has jumped in like
that.

I haven't heard yet from Alice but
there are no signs of any flowers - she
usually sends some in. There is no sign of
anything of the sort, at all, this time.

I can't see the clock in the steeple
and that irks me- but Vienna seemed much more
home-like, one just stepped back into it all.

The same waiters and boys - hopp
hopping hither and yon -

Greet the brethern. This must
be a bit dull. The trip in the car was an
orgy beynd words- all this is
reduced in colour and tone- but I will
no doubt profit. I am all the same, home-sick
for Vaud.

I will write later about "papa" and so
on. I note M.F, address. I will use it if I
need. But the people here are very kind and
helpful.

Ever and ever so much love, and to
the old P UP LEO,

from

I am in a pickle this morning as Tues. I have ps-a at 12.
Thurs., I have none. The other /six/ four days I have at 5,
the same as last year.

I will write A. in time- apropos A- papa said there was
a lot of trouble with Anna's farm and his flower garden
because of the lack of rain in the summer, but that NOW, he
was absolutely happy and content - and was so glad to
have news of Kenwin and all your veg. etc.

My room is such a contrast to Kenwin. I have a room rather
like the one you had with Turtle ps-a hours- green with an
old-apricot wall-paper that is a cosy faded old-gold by now,
on the second floor at the corner, so it is quiet.

They are all very nice and attentive, and I am sure I will
be very happy.

There is a lot of opera, requiem for Dr.D. on Thurs, I will
try to go.

EVER so much love, and I will write more, every day ...

it IS good to be here, after the first shock.

Greet the brothers- Bud and all.

See Pup gets her billet-doux.

My room I S in a nice fug. Tobacco,
tea and coffee. I make coffee here sometimes,
and tea always ... very convenient. I have
an occasional extra meal in, and other times,
go to Cafe. I never liked Wien so much.

I repeat myself... but I want to assure
you that it is cosy and comfortable.
Did not Walkür last night, as I was
once drenched through, sans umbrellas, and
it was pouring ...

I will buy my Xmas cards here- have seen
some very charming ones.

The Vee and I gouled over the congress, she
kept finding Sachs and screamed with joy over
you as the" favourite pupil " - she said
it in German which sounded very, very funny.
Will you get me one of that and her, too ?
She longs for one, sobbed over it and laughed,
how" ernst " was Frau Macp. Indeed, ja.

Well- love to A L L.

I congratulate you on making the congress,
its a triumph. Glad Kex has sense to enjoy
the Rene Clair atmosphere or rather stratho-sph.

LOVE eternally,

Congratulations of the idea, and tell Doris

It is good about KEX too. I am sure it is better

I have Connies book, thank you, it looks
dull.

Peggie Pratt is at a sort of farm school. I told her moter that maybe P. could see her.
This is the address , but it is not so
important. It might just happen the idea would
amuse " mama, " and no doubt the child might
like a visitor. But it may be too far away,

died, and the Pratts seem to be better off.

WIEN,

Dear Fido,

Your letters mean a great deal, they come just as I am finishing my early morning cigarette. I don't know what I'd do without them. I note D.R. re Rebecca. Its funny and I should think, in part, right. Stephen hinted something of the sort- isn't the man, or wasn't the man very rich? Wouldn't that get in, too, if Reb. was working for a living those years?

Well- anyhow- thank you for a ill "dirt."
About Kex, it's really shocking about Madame X.

Poor boy- all IS to the good if he watches the clock as he has some "wongy" ( ,? is that what I mean? Shades of Oppy) ideas of time!

niggle, pleasingly afterwards- but the
spade work will be done- this book has been
hanging fire for 14 years - I will
feel better, once it IS shaped.

So, I have not wanted to see people yet,
outside. I have so far dodged
Frau
Mrs. Ernst.

It is raining again in this morning.

I liked the film, The Rothchilds, I saw at
Votiv, and I like the V. cinema so much. I am
on the prowl for films - and though I pretend
go opera, I am rather happier with the old film
vibration.

Give my best to Bud. I am glad for all and every
bit of news.

Best to Pups.

WIEN,

Thank for good letter, all about B.L. I will
convey greetings, of course, had good note
from Bud, too, gave me account in Micky M.
manner of drills at Haudley and you and mama
and the foot-men which was funny and I saw
you all-, Pup also writes of you as
snug as a bug in a rug when you manage to
get to the rug with a travel-bore book. I AM
homesick for you all, but papa is drilling away
like mad, this time, worse than Haudley or
Kenwin put together. I am simply shattered each
time. He is apparently very sensitive about
the money you sent, lest he shouldn't
finish the work, we had to talk of it
yesterday. But I tell him its oak.

Enclosed from Connie, do not destroy it,
I rather like it. I am going out to
walk as it has rained so, I haven't been
indoors too much- and to look up movies. I am
movie-hungry again, and the few I have
seen here throw me back to the old vibration and
that is so important. What a joke about
Cuthbert, he is sure to be being petted. WHO
is the latests ???? Did poor old Bgt. give up
spelling-
tab Eugean's stable(s) for what ???
All news most helpful to the tail.

I am trying for a few days not to write, as the
dynamics at Berg. are too shattering.

I give your love. Was shown the congress book,
that someone made up for him- about so
picked photos. ONE, was of you in the
crowd, as papa says, " like a child at
school. " Evidently you are the pet infant
Boston baby, phenompon, prodigy exibit.

Love, my dear - do get me one of the exil
prize-pupil. I told papa he looked like Dr.J.
and he seemed slightly peeved, " just two old men"
he grumbled. LOVE and luf to Kex and Pups,
ever and eternally,
C.A.T.

2.
I note all news. I think Bud I S jealous. But it I S
right for Kex. I don't think he's pretending. He always said
he wantd it, but you had spoiled ps-a for him, by talking so
much about it. Bud is on the fence, and is again upset that
Kex is in on this, but I don't blame Bud in the least. Only
Bud, I think, will succomb sooner or later, prob., later.

I am certain I will have to tackle Brook. when I get back, D.V.,
as her sister has now a most died in Sussex, after Cyprus, of
my pneumonia ( I call it" mine. ") This makes her more
rabid and anxious about me than ever, and the mere strain of it,
as you say with Stephen, is too much,and we can't ask dollars, or
what is worse, to me, is that I can't give them a solid concentrated
hour and then say " time's up. " That's what gets me. They always
stay at least 5 hours with me.

I think Silvio is the worst, she has sent me a rabid story about
a girl having an abortion, who goes on the streets and
commits a murder- simply foul, my dear- all her uc-n
of course, and she expects me to treat it as high-brow lit-
eeeer-at-ture.

TELL Kex to write me, I sent him a burid Saint on a
p.c.

I don't want to stay on here, later than the hours you
allowed. The catch is, that having one hour off, Thurs., worse
luck, leaves me about a week extra, as I work it out.

I have 5 hours a week, that makes all-but five weeks. He
is very "sot in his ways" about the dollars, says he will
take for the actual hours', that means if I leave earlier,
he won't take it. Its not just that. I suppose the 5 weeks
will about/couver this phase, as its got into the father-brother
war-accident lawyer, not pleasant, as I have got it all
tangled with " atrocities" - you know what I mean
of course, by " atrocities", war and so on. You see that makes
it all very real, and papa says my fear of death is not fear

Dear Fiend,

Thanks for yours and all news. I went to
Connie Bennet in Moulin Rouge and it was really
funny, they throw German across, so effect is
not spoiled. I have found several very classy
movies. This one, on Ring is always funny, saw
Nana there. I was amazed at my own
thrills. Connie is quite funny, you remember,
Amy in Little Women? She doubles for
herself in a sister act, all out of old movie mags.
Greta comes to Votiv, I may see her again and ane
new Platinum Blonds, Jean H. and Berry today.
I try for opera, but it is always full, great
festivities here, I wonder if it is
Little Entente, lots of people talking French

4.

Ps-a is very good and useful and I think is letting me free, but it's rather painful, much resistance, all about war, accidents, fear of death, as I wrote you. Evidently much of "Zoo", or some of it, was a defence against that early phobia. Anyhow it marches.

I simply do NOT want to break across with people; as my hour is so painful, I usually rush off to movie, and I think that is better. Later, I will try to get in some people.

Everyone very kind here, and lots of people, English and French, seems to be a great music-season, almost impossible to get to opera, they offer me a "seat in a box or behind a pillar" and I don't want that, nor to stand in line for 3/4 hour either, in order to stand through it.

Love to all, Gruss mama is indicated. Much blessings to the old blooming Pups, I wish I could see her vacuum turn.

Gruss Gott,

Darling Fiend,

Very dark and rainy. Had good post this morning, like a
birthday - four from you, with excellent photo, thank
you so much. But could I have the other one, if you have some,

too? It has become famous throughout the ps-a world.
Letter from Kex which I enclose, it may give some light on
his mood, poor Kex. I am so very sorry for them. The old
X should be put off away from them, O its awful- and Pop
is to blame. I am terribly sorry for Kex. We must try to be
patient. It is so terribly ironical, his whole life is given
up to that for Mr. D. was only an escape, out of the frying pan.
You are terribly good to them all, and will, I am sure have
your reward some way or another. Only I do think one must be
firm, its all hysteria to the nth degree. Trust old Sch., I do
think he may achieve something.

I went Lohengrin, stayed till five from two- but could
not sit till six, so went out after 2nd act, and had a big
tea in a new shop with a very extra special kind of " snails", you
must go there with me. They brought papers from a young
English gent, and then took my Times, they had brought me,
to him. I wondered if it was Avery. Bud said he was here-
maybe " private", so do not met him. Bud though I might
meet Avery if I went to see " Bobby" who has a new small and
dive" somewhere. But I could not go alone,
respectable
so have not been. Maybe this is private so let Bud tell
you, if it happens. Bud was afraid I might mention Cactus to
Bobby, seems very odd. I said of course, I wuld not. Bud would
" do " with a spot of ps-a. But he is a darling. And has come
via herring, into my analysis again.

Thanks for offer of mags., but I am
only just beginning to read this all will

Dear Fiend,

I had avion letter last night with elec. I
will see to it. This morning another letter. I
sappose the avion, undated - N.B. - was
wrttten first. But right away -
Fido. If there is talk of move on move, I
simply will N O T come back at all, till
after Xmas. I do not want to move to an
empty in L. S. It would be terribly expensive,
lights etc., and all for nothing. I simply
do N O T want it.
The only poss. way of
imagining myself back at A L L, 1/5/61, is
in 26. I am much more likely to get pneu. in
a N E W place, where no fires have
been. 26 can be got quite warm and

2.

stuffy, Dog will tell you. Then I have
telephone and my address - no, the other is N O T
to be imagined. All the bother, only to move
again. No. I tell you, if there is
a tearing up of 26 behind my whiskers, I
simply will not come at all, maybe won't come at a
all, this winter. Now get that straight. I
thank you, as ever. But it is not to be
imagined. Thank you. But please, N O. I
imagine I will be able to get 26, for anther
month, if not, I can pop into a hotel, or
stay in a room, or else I won't comeback
at all. I will stay Kenwin. If there is this
trouble, I will stay the extra week here, then
over Xmas, in Kenwin. Now please don't get
excited. But a M O V E to me, is too
dreadful, and I have had every nerve in my
whole tale exposed by papa in this ps-a. I
would rather stay quietly writing in Kenwin, and
come later London. The only point in coming,
is to be PRIVATE and that I would not be, in
a half-baked, half-furnished new flat.

Please-

Dear Fido,

No letter, but I suppose it is because of the
avion, which was prob. this morning's. But two
papers, thank you, they go prob. to Alice, who
is always so glad for them. I see A. to-morrow.

I spoke to F. about the time, he said he
could give me more time, it was for me to
decide, that he had simply shifted one of his
analysands- one of the tame-cats, I shouldn't
wonder. But I told him, I would think it
over that I had PLANNED only four weeks. So there
it is, I am a little ambi. as one always is.

moment. I will not come LATER, however,
than the 2nd, that will be my latest, my earli-
earliest will be the 25th. In a way, I
feel we have broken the back-bone, but papa
got very interested in the Warlock
phobe- I can not go into it, but you
know exactly what that signifies, I mean
"Butts" world and all those don'ts. Papa
seemed to think that the un-n had been
thoroughly shaken by the early rumors
I had heard of the "Butts" group sort of thing,
and he was much amazed, but took it as a
shilling-shocker and seems very lively
and wants all details of them all. So you
see this I S a pocket. Well- there it
is, it may be the best thing for me to go
on with it, but it may be the talk or thought
of leaving, speed-ed the thing up. Anyhow, I
will let it simmer for a day or so. But
would be glad for word as to what you feel.

I was terribly pleased with your wire yesterday afternoon.

believe it. Do you mean the flat itself ?

WIEN,

Dear Fiend,

I have just written Stephen, saying I may
leave here in a few days, then a few days
Vaud, then London, but all very vague - this,
in case you see him.

I am going Cook, to ask about return, but am
completely ambi. still. We have got into this
new and very useful "pocket", so I don't feel
I can say absolutely. Whatever I do, I shall
prob. regret. But I will write you what I
think, and will warm the Vee well in time.

I feel it is such a long trip here and if
the extra week is paid for, I might as well
profitez. Also, I read in "der Tie-mes"
that London is a blanket of fog, you write

2. the same. There are moments, when I feel I shall scream not to have you to throw off on- but I don't suppose I would have you very much in London anyhow. However- you know false ps-a and it is maybe-false economy to rush away now that "papa" has put his finger on that father-terror complex, via of the " Butts" group. It seems the Dutchman crashing, linked up with the " victims" of the other person, as Warlock was a" victim", and Maitland inirectly and the Dutch boy that ratted whom Maitland talked to me so much about. Toni on Voast also , might have linked on, with his talk of "rat" and those star-brothers- you follow all this. You see it comes very near to reality and is also very fascinating, so I don't know what is best- I feel it my duty to stay the week extra, but am simply wild with suppressed desire to throw off on you or on Kex indirectly, evn on Silvio, who now writes that she has "placed" me, with Sch., as her father- her father started to teach her Greek because her ultra stupidity with languages. No wonder she almost drove M E mad in Venice. She acted the heavy Radcliff, then went all mou, & I

3.

told you. Hurrah for old ps-a, is all
I can say. Thank you for receiving
S. Mss, as I simply have to choke her
off. Don't bother with them, or her.
But she is evidently opening up on the
ps-a dirt which is always funny- and I do
think old Sch. know his stuff.

How wonderful of you about the flat, I can
hardly believe it. It seems incredible to
me. But all the same, I can't quite believe it.
Your wire was and is a miracle. After all, it's
much of a muchness whether I stay here or
a Londres the extra week, isn't it? But you
can't decide- only I am SICK in heart
for you to talk to- that is what makes it so
hard to stay here.

I think it's all oak, about papa and the dollars.

I got it mixed up with "blackmail", you
know the things Maitland told us about, about
that set. You know. So it is as well

we had the row, and papa prob. scented a
stop in my uc-n- and got at it consciously
or un-c-ly that way.

4.

I saw Moulin Rouge a 2nd time last
night, as there are some girls with very
exquisite bottoms in it.

I meet A. at 3.

I am writing Mrs. B.

Don't send books, but I will hand on any
papers, have a lot, as I wrote, the Brook.
send me a barrel ful.

I am so bored with O.B. Also, that story about
Toni, was half written by M E, and I am not
pleased at the idea of its being set up. But
I don't suppose Hogarth will take it- thought
they might of course.

Yes- do give Paul a copy or anyone. I will
bring some more over later if you want. I
don't care W H O sees it. I am on this
new track- but White-tobacco-roses won't
be ready, dear Fiend, as I have put it away, lest
I go mad. Its roughed- but it will take a little
time, to trim it off - thank you, all the same,
for interest. In retrospect I like two Ams.
quite a lot. How funny about ex- jealous of old
Paul.

I just can NOT bring myself to look
out" Bobby" - I don't suppose it matters.

3.

If it is the case, you will see that the
weeks here, have been of immense
benefit. The Flying Dutchman represented, I
imagine, another "victim." You know how people
talked of the "victims" of X - the
blackmailer. It seems an odd turn to have
taken, and terribly important. I was to be
another "victim," in other words, I wanted
to be victimized in the Zoo way, but felt
or knew it would mean death. P.R. represented
the father, with whom I wanted a son, but to
have a son would mean, I said, death. This is a
physical fact, also it would have been a social
"death." It is all terribly bed-rock, as you
can see. You evidently in some way, are food,
help, support, mother, though of course, it
mixes over into father too. It is really
reversible. But Turtle was right when he
said in Corfu, I was trying to get to my father, in
other words, King-king, or Rodeck, as it happened.
The Pup, though terribly important is rather
more myself, than my child. My child is a golden
Christ-child off the Xmas tree, all very clear at
the age of seven. But child meant primal scene,
meant being" killed" by a man, the father. Odd.

4.
I tell you this, as I know it
is ps-a data,
as well as "dirt."
Cissie and Warlock
are in leagüe with the bad-father- you know-
and all that was linked up with
theft and
death. I wanted to steal the babay at 7, was
afraid Pups would be kidnapped. In fact, she
might have been. The odd thing is how life
translates the phantasy in fact. You can
follow all this.

Church, or at least the Italian or
Austrian , means the lights of the candles, the
Xmas tree and all it stands for, in other
words, a sun-symbol, and the gift the father( God
gives of his son. In other words, my father
gives me, the Virgin, at the age of 7, a son.
Or SUN. There seems here to be no special
fight or rivalry with my own mother. I am
simply a wonderkind with a divine child,
" born in Bethlehem. " So the two lives go
on, side by side, true" mysticism. " Well- I
trust this does not enervate you...
one/sown ps-a is so exciting, its like asking
someone to come and see the jig-saw puzzle,
put together.

I am happy about Kex and his "cho. baby."

6.
coin to the collection plate extra, but it is
real music, Back, Beethoven and in the lovely
candle-lit exterior.

I am sorry about mama, poor darling. Good
she allows that "woman" to be there, all he
same. I mean the good nurse.

I note H.G. letter, but have not dared
yet read.

I will look out for R. Claire and talk

Dear Fiend,

I have the two cards I am sending Pups, for
you, this enclosed was the only one.

Aren't they marvelous ?????

I went Cooks and can get return ticket
anytime. I will wait over week-end, but
unless I hear from you urging me back, I
will prob. stay, till 2nd,
as I hear from M.C. and
so on, grumbling about the weather and general

Dear Fiend,

I didn't know there were "abends" for
Fredd's pupils- what a joke. But this time,
I couldn't have stood it- they all speak, I
suppose, German. Anyhow, everything was so
intense in the uc-n, I think it was better
not. Maybe, another year, D.V., if I come back,
I will plunge headlong into the morass.

I have no ps-a to-day, rather a relief.

I told Freud a long tale yesterday, full
of important details. When I had used up the hour
he said, "I can tell from the way you speak,
that you are hiding things. So I did not have
to listen. You ran your articles together.

You did not speak clearly. " Wrought a
sell! Was I mad ????_

2.
I am telling you some of the tricks of the trade. Evidently papa simply listens to the wave-lengths. But ... he was right, as we are on early mstbn. layer , and he says the dreams are V E R Y significant, in their very obscurity. He said that Martin said there were 26 hours. So, I will leave here, D.V., on Dec. 2nd as I first planned - at least, I think that will be of I will anyhow stay for the 25 hours, Sat. being the last. But I will write you. I wanted N O T to stay at one time, but once through the barrier, I am very, very happy. Everything seems very good now and useful and important. I read a lot of his books still - but last night in bed, I had an orgy of mags. Tell me the old Pups, will you. How funny about E. B. She can some dreams as my PUP. Funny. Pup and she exchanged roles. So I think in uc-s, E.B. is all oak, as far as I personally am concerned.

I am interested in R vr
I must say it is all a problem. Mrs. Barsis said
Eileen was NOT coming here. She wanted dirt. E. had
not told them she was in psa, in France. But Mrs.

4.
with Mrs. Freud's dear sister. This made
me laugh so, in bed, I could not sleep.
Old papa trailing o'er Eudrópe
Eu-rrrope with Miss B.- whatever her
name is- her family is famous for compiling
or having soem letters of Goethe. And so
on. Wien sure is one oak bazzar.

I shall soon go mad about
Xmas presents. I got you one tiny thing, and
Pup a bronze and green little lizard, and Cole
an ash-tray with two fish set in glaze,
and Bud a small book on early German
minnesangers ( apropos "Bobby" ) but
I can't find anything really serious.

I see A. tomorrow and Mrs. B.
on Monday. I am quite a feature now chez
Bastei. It seems a very chic and select
place, and they are most attentive.

Your letters DO mean so
much, two this morning.

Give my love to Lotte . I must
write E.White, one day. How funny to
see Osbert and Bud together. I can't bring myself
to see Bobby and that has rather cut the thread
with me and Bud, I think, though he has

written nicely.

There is another, Burgkapelle, where
also opera singers do Back and Beethoven,
Sundays, so I am full of that sort of
dope- plus coffee - very Moravian.

Do hope you get to
Cornwall, I note you choose the L I Z Z A R D!

I am so glad you are going

be in Kenwin, the 3rd of Dec., leaving here

WIEN,

Did you and Pup get the
post-cards of E.B. ?????

Dear Fiend,

Two letters, thank you so much. All the rest seem to have come. I only told you about the stamps, lest any should go astray. I suppose it was only an accident. Anhow- don't worry any more. I am so sorry about mamas MSS.

What C OULD have happened ?

I have gone terribly deep with papa.

He said, " you had two things to hide,
one that you were a girl, the other that you
were a boy. " It appears I am that all-but
extinct phenomina, the perfect bi-. Well, this
is terribly exciting, but for the moment, PLEASE
do not speak of my own MSS., for it seems the
conflict consists partly that what I
write commits me- to one sex, or the other, I no

2.
longer HIDE. It is not quite so obvious as
that - and no doubt, before I leave, we will
come to some balance. All he same, PLEASE
Fido, if you love me, and love my work, leave
that to work its own will in its own way.
I got out those four stories, by the sweat
of my brow- you remember. If I can best, it
will be all right. If I can go on my own two
rails, it will be all right - but do not
probe me or try to make me angry. I might
die- Fido- literally- die. My whole life,
literally, is one pure and perfect
crucifiction- if I can use that much
abused word. I am not, except in certain
hours of writing and in certain hours
of FORGETTING writing, ever free. Let me write,
then let me FORGET my writing. I have been
the least lax or lazy of the lot. I have done mo
more. Please, for six months or a year do NO
prob me about writing. Its no good and
terrible pain to me. Please, Fido. -
appreciate those 4 stories. Now I am
working - or will- on a sort of ps-a
re-hash of the Greek scene. That is no
joke. I will publish it when ready -

3.
I then go on with a dream and papa said
I had become so independent and clear in my
outlines that there was no need for him to
speak at all. All very serene you see.
However, I must go easy, or he might pull my
tail again. However, he puts it down to the
scene where R.A. shoots you, a la Aiken
menage, then shoots himself in bed.
Evidently that was THE primal scene, and
all the rest mstb., later affairs, all
of the "Butts" fears in Corfu, kidnapping,
and so on, terrors of war and that sort of
thing, is built up on that first scene. Also,
usually a child decides for or against one or
other parent, or identifies himself with one.
But to me, it was simply the loss of both
parents, and a sort of perfect DIY
bi-sexual attitude arises, loss and
independence. I have tried to be man, or woman,
but I have to be both. But it will work out,
paper says and I said, now in writing.
Mstn. with me only breaks down the perfection, I have
to be perfect, I get that in writing, and will
become more abstract toward the writing in
life, now I know WHAT I am. O, I am so
very grateful and happy, Fido.

deep gratitude and love to you,
my darling Fido. I am like the old dame in
Wagadoo - I feel a great uplift and

it is as neat as a pin. I imagine I
put R.A. as "father" as he had pistols and
might have shot me and shot himself, all
a la Connie, and you as mother as you
had fed me and looked after me and Pup.

I trust you do not find my uc-n offensive.
I had to get some one with a gun. Then too

Dear Fiend,

I must tell you there has been a great
time chez Berg. I found papa licking his
whiskers and purring so loud that I could hardly
hear myself talk. He said, " of course, you
have heard all about it ? " I asked, " what ? "
He then said Anna had heard from Bryher and
that Bryher was trying to put the money for the
Sachs fund into one sum , and they to
realize direct for the fund, the interest. I
said, that was good. He went on to say there
was trouble about the transfer of the sum, and
told me the amount, in shillings, it would
bring yearly. I got him to turn that back
to 1 pounds. Then he went on purring and wanted

WIEN,

all the low-down on the English group, and I
told him how they wanted to get you and your
dollars into the London set, and how you
wouldn't, that it must go direct you said,
to Vienna - and so on- the purring nearly
shook the house down, like an old lion
whose hearts-desire has been fulfilled. I
could hardly get on with ps-a, told him about
Stephen and the remark his analyst made,
school
" as one public school man to another, "
and again the story of you and Stoddard and
were
patriotism. I said I thought they were
conscionetuous but it wasn't ps-a. I told him
how D.P.T., said, " O, but you can't be
analyzed by Freud. " And so on. He just
went on purring. I am so very happy this came
about, before I left. It makes such a dramatic
finale, and I am so glad. I told papa it would
be worked out some way. I think the sun block.
like that, has staggered the whole of Berg.
Wolf lept into the room and began lapping
Yo-film water, then ran and
snugged me on the couch, I think Wolf got it
from Anna that there was something very good in
the air, funny, it was the first time he came into
the room.

3.

I saw A., gave her the jam, still
wrapped up in card-board as when I brought
it. She was very pleased, she came here after
T and liked my room. We talked " dirt",
ps-a, the wedding and so on. I see Mrs.B.,
on Mon. , A. again, for the last time, I judge,
on Wed. I have written Timmy and Vee
that D.V., I come back the 2nd, arriving
Zürich, just before one, P.M., / the Mon.
Jules does not like to rouler Sun., it is
so crowded so I thought this was the best.

I will see about the petrol, either direct
or through Timmie. I will try to see Mouse,
but those long hours are such torture-
you see why? I can keep up being a
"woman, " even a " nice woman" for about
two hours, then I get terror of
claustraphobia, this is no joke- and have
to get to an intellectual retreat, book or
pages- to prove I am man. Then I prove back
again. The only thing I want is the
cloak of invisibility. That is why it is so
hard to be at Audley for more than a few hours.
I can act perfectly, the part, for a few hours,
then I feel I shall go mad. This makes me, as a

4.
" genius" if I may use the word, but breaks
me; as a person. I know you will make
allowances and try to understand.
It has meant everything to have this
connection with Freud.

Forgive me if I seem
cranky Fido. I think I am about through
for the time. I feel the noise so much
now. We have done wonders, but O, the work.
I will need at least six months to recuperate.
You will be very kind ????_?

Please let me thank you and
understand darling, my "balance", so
terrinly right and I am really happy,
but don't upset it.

her somewhat snappy-ish-ly in reply.
Why Puppets "unrelieved and untended"? It
reminds me of the Norland Nurses and our old
Queen. That class. But I suppose for ps-a, we
must work "without ceasing, continuing
fervent in prayer" sort of thing. My love to
the GGrrats if you see them.

I am feeling a little wobble-y
about return. I suppose it the is end of
the dope- two more hours of it. I see
Mrs. B. to-morrow. A. waited to come again- but
it sorts of rams it in that I am going, so I think
I won't see her. I said an official
good-bye last time and got her some
cigarettes. I gave the bulk of the mags. to
Mrs. B., who threw off on me, in confidence,
of course, about Mrs. L. The latter seems to be
the reincarnation of "Sara". She keeps them
all down, then pops up all serendip when ever
the doctor is due. Mrs. B. has no life at all,
and I think is heading for a break or would be
if she weren't so good - if" good" is the word
I want. Evidently her visits to her old
mother were her one sort of legitimate
outing. Also, she can never play or sing there,
and that is her life. It is too awful.

3.
I got some plaster angels and things
for Kex and Buddy-for Christmas. Rather
fun. If only I could find YO U

something. Cole writes rather
alarmist-ly about all my flats, the new one as
well-why? About my being" ahme". Have
there been more troubles in the district?

It is rather a problem. Because I don't
want to stay too long alone in Kenwin and get
introspective again, after this very
greta lot of work, I have done. However, I may
be very happy, once I do manage to get back.

I find they have music
at St. Stephen, every day at 12 and 5/8, funny
how one finds thing out- rather late in the day,
but I have got the rythm of the place now and can
be happy here, at any time, I feel. I am
wishing you were here to select a basket for
papa, or an azelia. I feel so shy about it. Pup
that
took in that big one/last Easter that pleased them
so. I may leave it to Mrs. B., after I go.

O dear. I wish you were here
to help.
This with much love, dear Fido, and thanks

Dear Fiend,

Thank you for calling up last night, and for your good note this morning, re Lotte, George P. etc. I had long letter from the Brook, saying she had a small one-room flat for me, if I wanted it, but I think as far as poss. I will stick here, then come over. I am in no hurry. It is better for me to stay across MSS to Green., and once in town, I will only see people, for a bit. Above all, think of me as very happy and talking 50 to the doz., all the time, to the Vee, talking much more than in Wien, once one got to Vaud. Through the crust, I mean.

You must really not "show off" so about ps-a, Fido. But all the same, I must be careful to indicate what" finished" means. Like you, I want to get away from it, but will be swamped by Cole and Silvio, and it will be in a way, too, of course, a great protection.

I will also be clearer toward Dog. I want to hear what he has to say.

I talked to Vee about Audley, you and so on. She laps up everything and tells me of her early life, I suppose it is good for her to have a change here, too. Though she said she was very happy, and the days when in garden, went very quickly. The weather is lovely, bright sun in at my window, almost like summer still.

Jules evidently had taken Timmy to Basle, then on to me. I did not tip him on return, so will give him five when I leave, as for Xmas.

Thanks for all and sundry news. It means everything here, to have letters, as you well know.

I wrote S. a stinging better about P., had a stinging
answer, but it seems to be oke, as it jabs up hate
in the uc-n, and better have that hate come up - in dreams
etc. Evidently all violence equates the primal scene with me,
without being equal to it, so be
and its better to be a bit violent to equalize it,
careful of a little with me. I do not want to fight you or
Rvr., I prefer taking it out on the small-fry.

I do think Porcupine with Georgie's
wood-cuts will be too, too, too chi-chi for any words.
But what a joke- you will rope him in yet to the fold.

Dear Fiend,

All is oak. I am sorry if I seemed to squeal too hard gestern.
I am now rather glad for the few days extra. I will go Mon.
and get or reserve ticket, for either Sat. or Sun.
next.

I am quite jealous of Bud's butterfly, he wrote me all
about it. Now about my old copies, should I bring some with me ?
Or what ? The books grow on me, I love them so much and the
people in them seem to weave over and into life, very helpful
for the ucn. I am bringing MSS but have put myself
the task of the other two vols. first. I am trying to do a sort
of introduction to the poems, it has the pomposity of
Cotton Mather with an occasional Micky Mouse episode.
To go with this, if I do publicity, I will want a photo. I shall
prob., add a line to Dog, please read- no use repeating.

I enclose note to Dog, from

Bank.

It is raining, very dark this morning, can hardly see,
and hate typing by day. Give love to Puss, I am sure
it will be oak with Lila Meyer, you and Pup can cut the
G. knot, by BOTH going to States. I will say and keep Lila M.
company, for she is oak when you aren't there and I feel Pup
needs a change too. Can't you both go ? Then Kex and I
will hold hands over MSS, I will get onto Tobacco next, if
D.V., I get the others done. Then I will prod Dog for MSS
and, as I wrote Buddy, the snow-ball will go on rolling
down-hill. I said to Bud, it was you and me and he really, who
have started it. You and me really. And, O, didn't I squeal!

N.B.- Please do not say

"go back to papa" in the middle of an argument, as you used to

do, because "papa", he himself seems to think, equated
"death." So- let me prowl and work. I got up such a
lovely dream of self as Pup in a shell with a sort
of mother-goddess-of-the-sea, the last day, it was supposed
to be "birth", my new life u.s.v. But there was another
exact half of dream, called" death" which I could not
remember. Evidently, "death" is there, will prob., all my life,
be there. For no one, after all, has resolved that problem. But I
tell you this- because it is a great shock to me- and "death"

was near enough this summer. I want to get strong and go on
pushing out vols., that is "birth." And to help Kex
resolve and to get you and the Pup away for a good time. That
is my job. Pickings of ps-a will come along, too, too
soon. I want to forget it for a bit.

The Vee and I have actually got to the
point of discussing Cuthbert- all very odd. She thinks I am
a good, a noble woman. This in pig-French is rather
funny -and it is good for my nc-n.

I am getting off Bud's present after all. I
prefer this coming a little later. It was going to be a rush
this end, anyhow.

I will ring off, and go on to Dog, but it is your
letter too. I am terribly amused about Sch. Evidently, Sch.
is doing on Kex what his analysist did on him- it seems to
work, D.V., we must just "hold the right thought."

Thanks eternally for the Ks-a and for
the Ps-a. O- I am using the I.P.V. vol. now, every hour.

if Vee can arrange, and then across to Cook, and will
make certain of travel that week-end. There should be no
trouble, I think. However, I will hang on here, till the

so good but began to get a little upset-, as I got out an old
suit-case to pack with junk for the Juventate, to take or
have taken, to Cook. Then after dinner, I felt she would
cry- and I suppose it's her" change " too, and we have talked
much of Christmas, got out Buddy's Christi Geburt that I got
him at Wien, and so on. Vee says they always had them in
Zürich.
I have talked Xmas and cards and plans, just to
have something to talk about, also its good for my uc-n. But

will maybe see Dr. G. on return from Cooks, and see what I can
do. If only there were ONE person here for her. It gets more
and more empty. I love the house. I have collected myself- and
save for one ot two little slumps, have been very happy, and
think, the rest here, with MSS was EXACTLY the thing for me.
But I am of course, en route to London, and just come
from Wien. I don't really know what to do about Vee, I didn't
think Mouse would do anyhow- like you, I suddenly discovered
an " Ernest" - mine is a sort of replica of John Helforth. I
shall call him John for luck, whether he is John H., or not
I don't yet know, - but my Ernest, who is John,
pre-Freud
has begun to edit the works of the late Dr. Freud, H.D. Its
quite a joke, the duality coming into shape, and I don't

think this would happen, if I messed up uc-n, too much. So
I am doing everything I can, then will see Mouse IF
it suits John Helforth. You see ? I AM so happy about all
tis. I do feel so excited, too, about Manchester. What
a brute Osbert is, but how very Osbertian. Cyprus, too,
of all, places- he is simply wandering round on our early
" beat. ", a great ichnumen or ptero. You MUST get
Manchester going. How about the Wollf-s of Bloomsbury ????_

I have a marvelous
way now of checking up each hour in my I.P. V. book. Its
wonderful.

I am doing my other cards, prob. to-day, its all
been fun.

Storm on lake yesterday, lifted the scene into the north
it was most stimulating, it is calm again this morning. Like
living on a boat - but O, Vee.

Could you get Pup to get me as present for
my bathromm for Xmas, a cake or so of soap, I would like one or
two of those great lemons, if poss. They have them at BLORIS,
Gerymn St. Pup likes getting into beauty shops- I should
be glad for that.

Also, NO more matches or cleaning stuff, I hav-
heaps from last time and can't store. But would you see if there
is a screw of tea. I am bringing a little coffee, for the first
day or so. I believe there was a half-tin of Queen Annes. NO
more drink for the moment. I don't drink at all- later, I will
maybe go in for red Burgandy or some sort of tonic wine. But
save for visitors, I don't want any and would rather wait and
choose. Forgive me, taking this for granted - but Kex might
get me in some.

Blessings, my darling, Fido.

Dear Fido,

Enclosed, please find.

Letter camellate last night. Thank you so much. I am
paralized at the thought of a tin-Lowndes. However, it is
ever and ever and ever so good of you all to have done it. Thank
Kex again and again. I am waiting to hear of rendez-vous with ~~Mar~~
Marron, and then will get ticket for Sat. night, if feasible.

I am much amused with Pabst. What a joke for Kex
to do a "silent" Connie. I really think "ex might be able
to do it. And what a party! I must hear all about it- so
glad I was spared. My cat whiskers are very nice and sleek from
much licking- not chewing. I have got this introduction to
"Nights" under way and it makes me scream with mirth, to
have discovered an ~~Ernest for myself~~ but I had already
done the John, only I had not yet sed him as a projector, to
comment morally on the lapses of the late H.D. It makes me
laugh so ....

What a joke about D.P.T. Of course, I will
see everybody, but want to go easy at first. I want you and
Pup first, and to re-establish contact with Kex, then later,
I will have plenty of time for the small fry.

No news, of course. Vee thinks she will
get a tree and her own trimmings, balls and stars, so I will
pay her for those, as a personal gift, I think that is such a
good idea, don't you ? In thmeantime, I will try to
"fix" up something with Timmie.

I will leave Mouse, as it may happen.

This to go out. It is again raining.
