LETTERS

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

August 30, 1943

Dearest,

It is exactly two months three days since I received a letter from you, & I am at a loss as to finding a reason. However another clothing parcel arrived on August 10th, all complete except for the notebooks. Thank you very much! With regards to letters, I am optimistic & trusting that the fall with its many rainy days will give you time enough to write me a note once in a while again. The very warm weather that has been prevailing these last four to five weeks has more or less put a stop to any serious reading or studying, although one book-parcel after another has arrived from England containing very good books indeed. Only some weeks ago I finished one of the first books you sent me, namely “Pride & Prejudice,” which I enjoyed very much. — How is your work getting on Alice, & what are your thoughts nowadays? Your last letter was dated April 27 which makes the latest news I have of you four months old. — One Canadian whose companionship I value very much, his name is Donald McDonald, asks me if you know his friend Ruth Hanna, who lives in Lansdowne Ave 350. If you do, please give her his best regards. —

I am longing to see you again Alice.

Your Jens

You sent him Pride and Prejudice! And poker-faced Jens responds, “Which I enjoyed very much.” Wouldn’t Jane Austen have found her story of matri­monial manipulation an absolutely delightful coincidence considering all your complex Don and Jens misinterpretations? Will sweet Alice get her man in the end?
