The Dower House, Chalfont St. Peter, Bucks. - Bob's present [his "Collected Works"] has given her more happiness than he can know: it is almost like having Bob himself in the house. Finds poems whenever she looks in it which 'transport [her] back, sometimes 20 years' to the time when Bob first read them to her, and to 'the happy hours' she has spent 'learning from' Bob. His poems are a 'treasure to have always'; looks forward to introducing [her son] Christopher to them. Around a week before Christmas, she re-read the epistle to Desmond [MacCarthy], for which Bob sent her the proofs, and had 'the same delight from the sense of recreation of the past & of a philosophy to meet even the present' as when she first read it. Hopes that the New Year brings him 'personal peace & welfare'.
