Scope and content
Westridge Farm House, Streatley, Berks. - Bob's 'Christmas book' [this year's "From the Shiffolds?"] gave her great pleasure: was 'so lovely' to have a writer send her his poetry again, which she much misses. Thanks him and Bessie very much. Was glad to hear of the Trevelyans from Lady Hutchinson; often thinks about them and their 'delightful house', and the 'reading aloud' when she and Laurence stayed with them, 'till the reader laughed too much to go on!'. Did not know about the memorial service for Gordon Bottomley until she saw the "Times" notice afterwards; would have gone otherwise, but 'knew no Bottomley relations'. Sends best wishes for the new year.
