52 Tavistock Square, W.C.1. - Should have thanked Bob before for her 'share in [his] collected poems'; she and Leonard have been abroad, and moved house. Did not 'realise how much [she] liked' the poems, which 'come through... as though all superfluities had been consumed and what's left is very satisfying'; she admires that very much, and does not find it 'often among the moderns'. Also often finds in them a 'special colourless (perhaps I mean unexaggerated or impersonal) beauty' which is 'lasting and possessing'. Particularly likes to 'trace the character of the writer, the peculiar humour and idiosyncracy [sic] of his mind', which she finds more often in prose. Wanted to thank him now, as she has 'just been made angry - tho' that's too strong a word - by a silly review by Stephen Spender'. Leonard is out, or he would also thank Bob.
