"M d Φ
How absolutely disgusting! Do get dates put back again. I have arranged not to go abroad till the 29th, but I must go then. This house is available for you of course but I want to see you, and I thought we were going to have a good time. Just strike and make a disturbance. You are [?] Ramsey much too long. It isn't fair. Cut it short and come to L'. I can't make up my mind about Toronto. I don't [?] to go at all. They offer £20 or something towards the expenses but that won't cover it or anything like. I suppose I shall wait for something to decide me one way or another.
Λ
Of course I agree with your nature letter, only I think that the Enquiring teachers are the ones that should try and mend their ways a bit. "
