A Letter to Donald Stuart
28,Avenue Laplace
Arcueil(Seine)
France
12,iii,1938
My Dear Stuart,
We are overjoyed at your generously long letter.We have
been rather worried about you since your reticent Xmas
card from Spain. We thought that your indignation at
Fascist terrors might have made you join the Spainish
Republican army on leaving Oxford.In that case, the world
would certainly gain a hero,but we might (O horrible
thought!)lose a friend.You can imagine our relief to hear
from you again.
We are very,very sorry to hear about your VIVA.We do
hope thet it will not be prejudicial to your chances of
getting a job.As your favorite Walter Raleigh used to
say ,Oxford final schools and the Last Judgement are two
examinations, not one. You are quite right to take the
whole thing lightly.
