DEAREST ELSIE,

There's not the slightest chance of my coming over to Paris now. I am

not going to Ascot at all this year. The Housmans thought of taking a

house for Ascot week, but she has not been well, and they are staying

out of London till they go down to Cornwall. They have taken a house

somewhere near the Lizard, and when she goes she will stay the whole

summer.

Both George and poor little Mellor are in low spirits. I had a very nice

letter from Mrs H. asking me to go down there in August and to stay as

long as I liked.

Housman has lent me his box for the whole of Ascot week. There is such a

rush that I haven't time to write properly to you.

Yours,

G.
