Dear Lotte,

Many thanks for your letter--it came by the 2nd post (12:30pm) and I have to be out all the rest of today. So I can only send a hasty and unconsidered reply. I think your notes would be very useful, can't at the moment, make any constructive suggestions, except that I am sure we should recognise that a good many females homos. do not know they are and we ought to be very careful what we way, and how. Do get the group to talk about this--I'm more than ever sorry not to come.

Am keeping the copy of script you sent so as to go over it more thoroughly. I see it's a carbon so you will have another.

Many thanks--excuse haste; the dinner demands attention!

Yours,
Joyce
