[Shidehara] and his government may go pop. If that happens then the attitude
of Japan will make a marked turn for the Japanese business men all over
the country are howling for their government to act and act strongly. This
last is my own dope not Fergusons. There - teas ready - do have a cup?!
Its so dashed hot...I had another nice bouquet from NY from Roger officially
to Heine officially sayin among other things good boys! more power to you
in your Chou Kou Tien work. I knew he approved but its nice to get an
official notification of heavens approval. The reorganization of the
Foundation has gone through as you will see from last weeks Bulletin which
I am having sent on to you. ERE, RSG and Gunn become the three vice presidents
Embree at NY, Gunn in Europe and RSG here. Heine is associate director of
medical education in the East under [Pierce] now and the CMB exists now in
name only for the purpose of holding title to our property - we deal direct
with the Foundation now - also we have almost autonomy - only in the case
of the most senior appointments do we have to refer for action to NY. Our
next years budget was approved too - in fact everything we asked for went
through with a bang. Eva Macmillan asked Heine, Branch and me to lunch on
Sat and put up a very nice show. Mable Tom, a new Miss Phelps, a Peach of
a Fuchow girl ^ I spelled her as a Fukienese before she told me was - Mrs Wen(and her husband who is a Cambridge lad) with Eva
made the gang. Miss Phelps has been in Japan some time and has eyes on a
post as RSGs secy. She seems the bees knees with a dash of humour. Spring
is here and the forsythia is glorious outside my window here and the
other shrubs are just ready to bust into a riot of bloom tomorrow or the
next day - "I love you sweet, herin lies all my song" How I wish I could help
you in your work of settling down and all - such a weary lot of fussing
you will have to do all by your little lone - but Mizpah! Huggs and kisses
for them wee kittens of ours - tell DavyKwuck I love him and hes to be a
good boy and look after his mummy and not need any spoink - and tell HMM
I dream of her too and can hear her Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!! The little [besom]!
Such an age before you can get this! Mail goes to Canada on Tues next. It
seems more like years than weeks since I saw that dear picture framed in
the window of the moving train. Vescor, vescor, vescor wife of my heart. Dyo
