Palais des Nations

Geneva

15 Jan. ‘46

Dear Robert.

Very many thanks for your letter of Dec. 22, with its enclosures, which it is most kind of you to have obtained for me. I should have answered it ten days ago, when it reached me, but I’ve been in a rush all this time, and am now enjoying the first few hours let-up since the New Year.

You’ve no doubt seen Bill since his return, and perhaps you even know what his plans are. I’ve heard nothing from him since he left England.
