Scope and content

Inquires as to whether he left any 'Boot, Shoes or Goloshes' in his bedroom at her house. Quotes lines of verse 'The heart, bereaved, of why and how..' [from A Song of Autumn by Clough]. Asks her to send any of these items to him, if found, to an address in London. Informs that he writes the postcard in the British Museum Library, because [the staff] will not bring him the books he ordered.
