Pièce 67 - Letter from C. A. Meredith to James Smith

2 single sheets

8 Upper Leeson Street, Dublin.—‘It must be a great relief to have evacuated your evacuee – not to mention throwing pepper at the ministry of health.’ Is glad Cambridge is ‘still working’, though he does not regret having moved to a place ‘where the state is at most 3,000,000 to 2 against us’. Bullard has moved, ‘for greater convenience in the war, when the war comes’. His sister Una visited at Christmas. Trinity has no work for him for next term yet, so he relies on casual coaching. Sybil has recovered her interest in short-story writing since the War Office re-turned some of the papers removed from her trunk. Thanks him for arranging to sell a book for them, and refers to Smith’s way of calculating profit ‘in school text book fashion’.
