8 Grand Parade, St Leonards, Sussex. - Thanks Trevelyan for his 'Christmas card' ["From the Shiffolds"], which 'voice[s] so many of [Mallam's] thoughts'. "Old Aeschylus" expresses his own attitude towards modern poets 'exactly', except that Trevelyan is 'far more modest... in saying "the fault is mine"' while Mallam does not 'believe in the wealth [?] below their surface obscurity'. Loved "Two Hundred Years Hence", which made him nostalgic. Had already read the dedication to Ursula [Wood], but was glad to do so again. Would like to discuss all the poems, but it hurts too much to write [due to rheumatoid arthritis] so ends with best wishes for Christmas and New Year.
