Die [Monday]

[Undated: circa 16 May 1932]

 

 

Friends of Bill's [Bertha Busch]—v[ery] nice people—asked us here over Whitsun. Lovely, but I'm damned ill.

 

Birven.

You would go on against my advice. M.U. will tell you the result. My heart breaks] at such imbecility. After all the swine had done—words fail.

 

[Illegible].

I don't "rely on England"—what a coward's evasion! I hold you to your word, that's all.

 

Trust.

Only [illegible] £30 a week is all. [illegible]? And what use is £4? You [illegible] are 6 months' freedom anxiety to work—I have not yet had one hour. My blood upon your head—and the destruction of what remains of my life's work.

     

The end comes in a day or two [illegible].
