1 item

Westridge Farm House, Streatley, Berks, Dec. 20 . - Very kind of Bob to send the poems [the first "From the Shiffolds"]. Knew the [epistle to] "Philip Erasmus" - expects it appeared in "Horizon" - he is a '[l]ucky baby to have such a poem waiting before'. Wrote for a copy of "Windfalls" as soon as she heard about it, but was too late; will get it at some point, but the paper shortage is 'maddening'. Hopes that Bob and Bessie are well and managing to keep their 'lovely house warm'. They themselves have just managed to get a builder to 'cement [their] wall enough to keep out the rain', but 'get on all right & are expecting two French friends for Christmas'.
