The one serious result of the delay about the £50 is that Frau Mattner and her lawyer have lost confidence. One thing is sure, we must pay the rent on the dot—Nov 15. Germer [Karl Germer] is again in hiding; Cora [Cora Eaton], protecting the poor darling, passes from tears to rages and back. I fear we must settle all this through lawyers, simply to get some sanity into the proceedings. If Cora really thinks she can get anything by threats, God help her!
Karl will store the bulk of the pictures with his furniture. He helped out this P.M. and was quite reasonable. I gather that Bill [Bertha Busch] has poured out her woes: she doesn't want me to see the letters.
But the facts are we have quite a new gang on the job: I quite think we can pull it off. The one trouble is that Bill is distracted with work and worry: so breaks down more or less for a few hours now and again.
Oh Lord, how long? I do wish Cora wouldn't cut off her nose to spite her face. She told Bill the other day that she didn't care about the money at all; her only object all along has been to separate me and Karl! Queer notion of how to go to work?
In haste: gang due for a feed.
