Scope and content
Red Lion House, Chiswick Mall, W.4. - Is 'delighted' that Bob has sent her his book [his "Collected Works"]: is very proud to have it and see her own name and 'dear Lascelles'' together again in the dedication of "The Death of Man". He cannot know how much it means to her 'not to be forgotten by Lascelles' friends'; she misses 'so terribly all that splendid intellectual life' Lascelles gave her; though 'not an intellectual person' herself, she 'could & did revel in that splendid mind' and now 'the light has gone out & its dark & cold & always will be', except for the 'comfort' she gets from her children and old friends. Must think about Ralph and Michael's weddings, and 'how lovely it is to have acquired two new daughters, both dears'. Ralph 'looks a different creature now'. Very sorry Bob could not come to the wedding. The Gregynog Press want to start work as soon as possible to have the book [Lascelles Abercrombie's "Lyrics and Unfinished Poems "] out for Christmas; Ralph is seeing James Wardrop about it.
