5 I am feeling somewhat troubled about what you said last night. I would
6pain me deeply if you got into any trouble through any thing any
7friend of mine said of the club. I can fully understand how painful it
8must be to have it spoken of by non-sympathetic people. I can only say
9it has given me pain only to think of such a thing. I saw Miss Müller
10this morning. She says of course if you can’t come in the evening
11come to her house for lunch as arranged.

13 Yours very sincerely
