state of deshabille ; & it all took place in a latrine
they will be doing six months hard. The trouble is
that this business is pretty common with the Arabs
& I have heard of a case of an Arab who was in
court for having casual knowledge of his donkey -
who pointed out, with great indignation that it was
his donkey.

We began at 9.0 this morning & finished at 7.0 -
back late for dinner - & then I heard Churchill's
broadcast - & now it is 11.0 which is not the best
time for writing to you.

I have read & finished "For whom the Bell Tolls" - & I
enjoyed it as much as anything I have read for a
long time. The characters were magnificently drawn -
it was very exciting as a story - it gave one a very
good look into the carry on & life of the Republican
Guerillas. & it made me very angry that a. we
stood by & allowed this civil war to happen & even
helped France. & b. that we learned so little from
it. & I liked very much the love scenes which I
found rather beautiful & very understandable.

I have just started Vol 1. of Beatrice Webb's "My
Apprenticeship" - & which I think I am going to enjoy
and I hope find useful; both vols are in Penguin, &
I will send them on to you when I have finished.

I anm so tired & sleepy. I must go to bed now. I
am hoping for a letter & a p.c. tomorrow - Monday
my lucky day for last pic was on A.G. of April 8th
- if you see what I mean - & your last letter was
from March 10th & received May 1st
