| Description | Is sickened by the war and human stupidity. Advises Nicoll to stay at Yale, supporting English and American culture and the links between the two countries. The state of London theatre has improved greatly; the plays are of a higher standard than in peace-time. Admires a Russian comedy, Distant point and Round a roundabout by Jack Jones, who has recently been to USA. Thanks Nicoll for the food parcel. His wife has more housework to do, as they are short of staff. Likes Compton Mackenzie's The monarch of the glen |
