Dear Fido,

I enclose from Toklas, as it may need an answer. I read and
see she asks you Thurs. I2, or Sat. I4, but it seems to be
mistake, as Thurs. is I0 and Sat. is I2. Anyhow it brings
it very near- in any case, if you arrive Tues. so thought you
might want to drop them a note from Paris. It might be
better to wait till Doris comes, as I shall be rushing off
almost at once, and I don't suppose you want a long trip
immediately. However, you do as you think best and I am
glad to join in- but as I may leave Sun., it makes it
pretty close. Explain this if it is indicated.

I enclose also from Douglas as you may
want to drop him a p.s. to show that you ARE in Paris; this

I judged best. There is no word from Doris. No other
person/a letters that can't wait- some/papers and press-cuts.

It was lovely this morning, now rain. The
man has come for your bath. Vee explained very upset, how
you had NOT been called. I read Dead Centre and
the Witch book, both interesting. I had a very happy
night and want just a few more tea" hours" with you. I feel

much better since beginning the crinex. I heard from
Wilder, who has seen Alice. No other news, and much love.
It goes on here- you know. But I will be so grateful
for a few hours with you again. Thanks and ever with love,
Greet the brethern. It was be marvelous to have all news.

happy I am. I was a little upset that Kex talked so of the "loneliness" of Kenwin, but I suppose he felt I was too cerebral, which I am, of course. It was however, (I don't know why, ) rather upsetting suddenly coming back and finding the place full of lies, from K., and from you the hugh box of sweets and cigarettes to last a year- and also fruit and other flowers, little bundles of my favourite anemonies, and some blue spikes of love-in-a-mist.

I will try to write more to-morrow. I am in the midst now of things ALL over the floor. One of the happiest memories is of Doris on the floor with her stew-pot. Will you tell her. And please let me have news- and don't think I am a quitter for throwing off K. about war in general. He looks very well- and swears by S. and talked nothing but how marvellous his new "pocket" was- and how really poor Bud was in a " critical condition." I couldn't get other news of Bud- just that he was in such a state about it.

and he, Rove, was quite sure it was an
infant shock-all in the best approved
professional manner. I think you would
be pleased with K.

My cupboards are bursting, lovely jars of nuts,
olives, lots of coffee, a hot-pot in the over,
bread and milk and all the extras. I can not
tell you how cozy it all is- steam heat is on-
but I feel it is softer here, and have already, left
off extra undies. It is one of those
misty days-no rain-and one feels it is warmer
after the electric stimulus of yaud.

Please believe the old cat-that it is eternally
happy here-and the flat is perfect. And I will write
again. I have not quite got my land legs yet.

I will try to make a list of all
the good things in the morning - there is oil and v.
and sardines- such a lot of supplies.

Please let me have all news. I tell
you her it is a well-toned down and will be good for
me for a bit.

Give love to Doris and kind
greetings to Timmie and whatever seems most
suitable to the " insect."

Love, ever and ever,

ye olde

You see the envelopes came and bound Close-up-s.

Dear Fido,

I just called up the S., the Frau answered and said it
would be oke for me to go there this morning, so I am
taking the bull by the horns.

Kex came in just after the piano-tuner, we both had a
little tinkle on said same. Hey, talked S. and S. and S.
Chiefly, Kex said, this psa was like a " dope circle", one
was not really happy unless one had a circle and he wanted me
to go there. As Kex took it like that, I like him to think
he was "instrumental" in getting me to S. In a way, of
course, it makes a nice feeling that he is so very keen for
me to go to S. Also, it will be fun talking with Kex. But
I did not tell Kex I had been already writing- except in
a vague sort of way. I am to call up K. and go out again
to-morrow or Sun. Pup called me up, was in
great form, said all was well chez "mama", and Pup is
coming in here at 3, before a dancing class. She
sounded very good and sensible, and I am really looking
forward to her now. I enclose from Cole, please destroy.
I will see her Mon.

Also a note from S.D. But I will put that off, for a bit.
My hair looks nice- I had a long talk with the man there,
who apparently spent half his life ( French ? ) near
Geneva and climbed a M our hills. I found I was
saying all the right things to him, re Muss. and Co. Then
on my way back, I could not dodge the head-porter, and had the
show of my life to find I was saying all the right things to
him, too. It is the oddest feeling for me, to feel I am
swimming W I T H the tide, about war matters and so on.

Of course Albion has gone as K. says all dowager- and I
feel it distinct "feudal" - but apparently being
very smart and snappy - went to film with K., and saw
some very good battle film. Very odd, the scenes were so
very beautiful- I mean war as it is on the films- talks etc.,
though in actual formation came up like a carefully
arranged set- then saw the emperor in his town and the
natives. Very strange- Kex had apologized at first, said
it would be bad as everyone clapped- but as we missed the front
of Garbo, we sat it round again. Battle-ships at Alex,
and parades on shore- it did not frighten me
at all. But I don't think the "Uke" vibration at the
moment, will be able to manifest. However, this will appear
with time. All waiters, porters etc. very patriotic- sort
of sticking together- and no war. The head-porter gave me a
long speech, he is in air, you know, but went up as per
usual, and was told he would not be "needed" , so he says
that is a sure sign there is no war. And so on. I told K.
that. Also, what you said about being away- he said
he would speak S., and maybe go Denmark- but I said Paris
better and maybe" Br. will meet you there for a talk." I
just threw that in- as he seems quite different and anxious
in a way, to do the right thing- and wants me to plan going
states with you all. But more of this. It is rather
important, I make the link, I feel with S- then will write.

I am very happy and just beginning
to feel at home. I bought two little hats at Harrods. All
very prosperous in shops, and people look so nice.

Love to all at Kenwin, and I logg for
news, ever and ever

Sun.

Oct. 20.

I am off in ½ hr. to Mr.S. I have not yet established hour, he seems to think it will speed up anal. for them all, in a way, to have me there- at least, he said it would not hurt them to know, so maybe I will be changed over to 4 in the afternoon, but for a few days yet it is uncertain . This will be my 3rd hour. S. is good forme, as he gets all the nuances of the war period, and seems to think that uc-n thought it had been let down by Dr.Sachs as well as Chaddie because I started to go to Sachs , then he went to

States. This a inic-n, of course, but he gets things on a workable sensible basis. That is what I want. I am simply being very matter-of-fact with him, and I am sure he will do the trick- whatever the trick is. The new rooms are nice, rather Bloomsbury, with bits of Chinese and hea touches. I will have to write Bud and Silvia and tell them soon. Kex already a little jumpy and supprised that S. should take me over-week end, " what even Sunday ? " Kex said. K. is to come in for very-early tea, then I cross to Audley. I was asked dinner but really have a bad shiff, but only in head, and I must concentrate on Sch. I find a bus that run practically T O the door, 74, big, new tyle of bus, and I walk part way, a good little walk across park, and better for me, - so please let me stick to that.

Also, I can walk the other end, it is not far off

regent park, as you know.
seen funny-face.
and me for the imitation Bergner, Puss is so pleased- Tues.
matinee.
I may have to put off Cole
to-morrow, but will get date to-day from S. Enclosed Bud,
please destooy.

I did hope all marches chez Kenwin, and Doris likes it. I
will give news, if any, of Kex next letter- no special
war feeling- it gets lost in the general bustle here and slow
rumble- better for me, at themoment, as I told you S. felt
war had got too-deep, partly due Wien and bombs there.
Anyhow, its most pleasant here- slunking along.

Best to Insect, and to Doris
of course, and greet Timmie,
and take care of your
whiskers,

Wed. Oct. 22.

Dear Fido,

All well. Enclosed-s, please destroy. I go Nina with
Pup after lunch. Cole was in fine form, but she alarmed me,
a little; she is deep in this psychic-dope of seeing or
not-seeing "Nicholas" and I feel responsible, in a way.

I spoke of ps-a, she said she could not go back, ps-a had
given her N., and she only wanted to sleep with N. and what
use was it being asked by S. is she were in love with him,
and so on. I guess you are right when you said it was a "reality"
with her. But she was terribly keyed up and thin and looked
absolutely doped. I never saw anything like it- and I feel,
in a way, responsible. However ...

I am dining, D.V., with Kex to-night. He seems to want
dirt on S., and then seems uppish about my findings, but
I suppose its part of it all- and now I feel I ought
to tell Bud, as I am sure, Kex, in a sort of moment, of reprisal
may spring it on Bud. Anyhow its complicated- but I think
Mr.S. has the bunch well in hand- and the place is
detached and apart- and so far I have met no one there.

He spoke nicely of you yesterday ....

Forgive little scrap. I am off now. Love to Doris. I want
all news. I looked in D.Richardson, find it at the moment, a
bit sticky, but will try again.

Oct. 25. Friday.

Kex came in and we discussed Von Stroheim. Kex is very
eager for dirt and we agree he is terribly funny and as
Kex says, " I am afraid, cat, you and I are incurably
romantic. " Who then being the case, old Blue Danube is-
perfect for us. He did a perfect movie for me, " Ah,
then I was the enemy, I shot your brother" sort of thing
that put me back to good old Birth of a Nation days -
anything funnier than von S. could never be imagined.
How Cole can miss the joke, is beyond me- "he is so
cruel" made Kex open his jaw with wonder. But I
suppose they take him seriously, and K. and I just see a
marvelous movie-director in the right job.

I got ticket for Sun., thank you so much. They
called up to say there was a few shillings due on it still,
I told them to send me the account for the extra, but they
may send it to you; if they don't send it to you, it is here,
and I will pay it. It is very thoughtful of you, and I shall enjoy
getting out on Sundays. Kex tells me he will see his family
Sud, and then on to von S. That it will take off the edge of
them- so it will.

Con S. told me his father was an American who had married
his mother in Vienna- but knowing what I do- its all
very intriguing. I mean ... a M on the pup level. He does not
know I know, of course. Von S. was registered as American
until he went into his cadet-school . Funny, that . The
grandfather was settled in states- good German or course.

This may be private, I don't know.
I suppose I ought to write Freud. Have you ?
Pup comes in to early tea, and Kex again later, I hope.
Pup says your mother is all right and in good form.
I am sorry Zuri has upset the uc-n of the Kenwin group, there.

off
I am of in a minute. Hispark is full of gulls and very dope-y.
I need the London scene to bright me back to the war-complex.
Kex laughed so over G.P. - who did a complete volte-face,
G. said, " ah, how K. has changed, his clear eyes have come
back. You know what I mean, Hilda ?" I did a turn for Kex
comically
on this motive and K. was most haughty and scarcastic - yet
I thought it better he felt G. was saying he had " improved."
I did not put it down to ps-a. I am getting very chary
with my ps-a dirt.

Well, much love, and again thanks, ever and ever
