Dear Jane,

For once I am replying promptly!

I was very glad to see the two letters from Miss Doty. On the whole they make me happy. Of course the date must be arranged for later.

I think Miss Doty will get more funds & will use them to advantage. It has been successful. I can't recall the history of the French subsidy. It remains on my mind as [though] we voted against it & V. G. sent it nonetheless because [page 2] she felt she just had to. But perhaps she did have some formal authorization. She must have had. But in any case that is past history. And it is a thoroughly bad system & I think MZD will change it.

There have been stupid [new] attacks on the W.I.L. by a [lec] & F. Y. for Peace all growing out of the fuss about the armistice parade. It is always puzzling to [know] how to deal with such things.

[Affectionately] yours
EGB [page 3]

PS I have just had a long call from Helena Dudley. I shared Miss Doty's letter & she a letter from [Mme] Breshkovsky, chiefly occupied with Russia's fate under Bolshevism but lively and characteristic.
