Aug. 5 1934Dear Pete - I meant to write you a long letter today, sending all the lens that could be of use to you, but have actually copied only those of Trench II. It is now 8.15 & guests are coming at 8.30 & the letters must go at 11.30. So there may turn out to be no continuation of this - though I am beginning Trench III & may get some of it done now and after dinner. I posted a letter to you yesterday
