To Major General A. P. Wavell,

26, IV. 29 R.A.F. Caernarvon
Plymouth,

Dear Wavell

Can’t get away yet : it will have to wait
till late in May. So much to do : very little
energy to do it with. So I am not riding.

Macphail is, they say, a Canadian doctor.
If I may was as sure about anything as he is
about everything in war & morals & manners &
politics and literature – then I’d be a great
man.

He tries, I think, to be nice about me :
but he is a mean cad about Henry Alison : and
not intelligent either, I think. Doesn’t
weigh much, either side.

Yours

T.E.Shaw
