�My dear Mrs. Eckstor
What the war did to your intellectual mechan-
ism is not unusual. It was a h--l of a biff to all the highbrows - myself included. But I am not to allow a little thing like a world cataclysm to submerge the remainder of my days. Even if it convulsed my manuscripts. I note you have not forgotten your cunning even though you avow your mental absquatulation.
