caught napping again— and (which is more important to us) the Russians will not try the same trick twice, thank God.
I wish from the bottom of my heart, old friend, that our success in frustrating them had not been so tragically marred by young McLachlan's untimely accidental death. I have written to poor Potty, of course, though I know there is little that mere sympathy can achieve in lessening the guilt I know she feels because of her carelessness in handling the shotgun. Only the passage of time can heal that.
As to McLachlan— 'whom the gods love die young', the war taught us all that. Nevertheless, the waste of so bright a talent saddens me. He would have gone far and his loss is in the longer view also a great loss to his country.
Yours,
Geoffrey
