No time to write, really and truly!

[illegible]. arrival precipitated an explosion. Everyone got attacked in one way or another. Mrs. Walker achieved in less than seven months what the whole malice of Fate had failed to do in seven years—got Ninette [Ninette Shumway] to the workhouse! Mimi [Ninette's daughter] and [illegible] are with her. [illegible] and I have got [illegible]. We are trying to make some arrangement. Things are frightfully critical.

If course, the secretarial part of the Work awaits your return. Also, everything is in storage again—"somewhere in France". I shan't get it out until a permanent plan is fixed. I must have a house of my own. And an income.

P.S. I'm missing you less than I have done for months past!! But should be ever so glad to see you again.
