1 Dec. 10th My own pr a very few hurried lines as I have a big
job on hand in the way of indexing for the General. Why isn't
a p r here to help? Yes I think Douglas & M'Gill would appreciate cakes as
much as anything but you are hardly likely to be able to
Xmas time it exactly. The latter would probably like something
gaudy. As regards Mrs KS remember the more she scratches
& the less notice you take the greater your triumph over her. I have been thinking things over & have settled that
as the p r is now manager of our affairs she ought
to get the manager's fees. Consequently whatever we put
into the war loan during the war I will put in to
your name & I hope to be able to wash out the extrava-
gance fund ( & a good deal more if Rubber doesn't bust !) The PR who I admit needs no other stimulus than
the B W's approval will now know that she will get
some little benefit herself as well, not that it now
makes much difference. I had a walk today after 2 days without much 2 exercise owing to Russell wanting me to go with
him. Tomorrow I am to dine with Indian Corps, &
I had an invite to dine with the Arty VII
Dir but declined it they are 14 M off & tho' I
should have liked to have seen Lindsellagain I
find I cannot gallivant now. Must end but much love Your b w Wilfrid BSpender I want to hear how all at 24 are now that
they have a p r to play with
