Scope and content
Westridge Farm House, Streatley, Berks. - Thanks Bob for the 'delightful Christmas present' [this year's "From the Shiffolds?"]; he knows how much she appreciates being given poems by the writer, which she 'miss[es] & hunger[s] for out of the past'; Is going to stay with the twins [her daughters] at Christmas; hopes to get to Okewood in early spring and to visit Bob and Bessie then. Is a 'lot older now but that is suitable'. Sends best wishes for Christmas and 1950. Quotes a few lines of verse [from Bob's book?] in a postscript, calling them 'a blessed Christmas thought'.
