Letter to Ruth Mallory written on ‘Somerset Club, Boston’ letterhead writing paper
He would soon be on the Saxonia on his way home. He had been busy with a few lectures and had greatly enjoyed Princeton. Back in New York he had seen Allston Burr, interviewed pressmen, and lectured at St. Paul’s School. There was currently 8 to 10 ft of snow melting steadily.
He was sorry she was still having trouble with the car and that being stuck near the top of Firth Hill with petrol trouble was very bad.
He agreed with her suggestion that she wouldn’t come to meet him further than Godalming Station.
He wasn’t altogether disappointed by the American visit. It had been intensely interesting and had given him a real insight into Americans attitudes and opinions. He liked them on the whole very much, far more than he expected. They were extraordinarily modest and humble and pathetically anxious to be thought of well by English people.
He ends the letter to attend a luncheon party.
