Dec 26 [1943]
My most beloved & sweetest Jean
I feel so frightened about the 4tet. that it won’t be good enough.
We must meet soon – the only days I naturally come to London till Jan 25 – except Dec 30 which is not one of your days & Jan 2d which is the concert day & I go (I believe to tea with Ursula after (I don’t think that wd be a very opportune time) so I must come up specially – choose a day & let me know & we will either lunch, tea or dinner & we will go carefully through the viola part & allow ourselves plenty of time & opportunity for all that will befall after & during
all my love
Uncle Ralph
P.S. Don’t choose the following – V.S.
