"Such an odd blurr of days has gone past since I left you... So far as the personnel is concerned everyone has been at their most typical. Clemmie spending almost her entire time at Naples in hat & glove shops... Winston is passionately absorbed in naval arrangements – his enthusiasms become obsessions... We had a wonderful day at Pompeii – it is a magical place."
