I see few people and people don’t try to see me anymore as they know they bore me. I write to the Arensberg’s once a year and they do the same. There is a general weariness which, I think, is not confined to our generation. To tell the truth, most people prefer war to peace… Well, there you are, my dear Yvonne. Nothing as usual. Chess as much as possible: at least chess players don’t talk“
