Summary
Commenting on communism, capitalism and socialism; saying "I agree with you there is something in Communism, and there is certainly something in Capitalism, but there is nothing in Socialism. I would like to take you to Russia - I don't know anybody who would be less fitted to live under an autocracy than you, unless it is myself! Once this election is over, and I have recovered, I do want to see you. We won't be able to live at St. James's Square until Febriary[sic], the flues are all wrong, and the house won't be habitable, so I am going to try and do my work from Cliveden. Perhaps you and Mrs. O'Casey will be able to come down;" adding, in autograph, "How are the Children. How are you[?] I do long to see you both I miss Laurence (of Arabia) so much. I never saw him a great deal but he meant a lot to me;" adding in an autograph postscript "Go & help Bill at Fulham!"
