2 Prospect Place, N.W.3. - Bob's 'beautiful volumes' [his "Collected Works"] arrived last week; thinks he is 'very lucky' to have them. Will often read them, 'enjoy their spirit and envy their art': never reads Bob's poetry 'without thinking "However does he think of these rhythms?', particularly in blank verse, and wondering how he 'works so patiently'. Will also always value them as 'another token of goodwill from a man very differently constituted to me who has shown me hospitality & not alone forbearance but much more for many years, & enriched my life in ways too numerous to mention'.
