What news have I for you my love? Really nothing
at all of importance I am afraid. And as usual, I can
only [?] along about this & that. I do my best to please
you in that way. I had a very pleasant evening with
Bursheim on Tuesday when we had dinner & then went
to the Golstone Orchestra & Ballet. The music was lovely
& I enjoyed the ballet. I thought the standard was not
too high. But it is a [?] of Golestone or rather
the Jew's effort to have their own ballet. There were no
men at all & no real leaders or stars - execept [?]
Krans, who [?] in who did a solo dance called th
[?]. It was by [?] of whom I have never
heard. It was all very enthusiastically received. I had a
long talk with Burnheim during dinner & after the show - all
about Jewish problems now & after the war. He told me that
their soituation & difficulties & even who had tried to.
I am told by Ben that he [?] [?] me very much &
that he is probably the best friend I have in Palestine
- as it seems that the main reason for this is that I
have always treated him as an equal - whereas the other
Majors & British Officers in general rather patronise him
& treat him in a condescending way. It is bad isn't it?
He is an extremely intelligent, well read & interesting
man, & you would never dream of treating such a
person anything else but as our [?] an equal. And yet out brainless
[?] revised British Officers come out here & treat such
people in such a way - & even have the cheek to say
"You had better watch these bloody Jews - they don't
like us really." Admittedly, the Jews must have thinner
skins that any other people upon earth & cannot
adopt [?] such a [?] [?] to what other
people think if them as we do - but that is really
all the more reason why we should be especially
careful & try to make certain that at the end
