A 6pp. a.l.s., dated Tingrith, Station Road, Totnes Devon, Feb. 1 1946, to Mrs Angela Barry, disussing questions of health; his home life during the war and the eight years of living in Devon ('I've never had a holiday; & the missus but two -- a week and four days away from the children ... no work can be done till they go to bed. I work at night -- an old habit, of course -- till 2 in the morning'); praising the first numbers of the new Iris magazine and its review of his latest book; commenting on the volatile state of the Irish Labour Party ('It will be interesting to see how the political Vatican will go when we have all the new Cardinals in their new red hats'); predicting an American Pope and that 'the next big fight will be between the ecclesiastic persons attached, or near attached, to the Vatican, & Militant Socialism ... "'over all shines the Red Star'", in original envelope.
