Newell Grange, Redditch. - Was very glad to get Bob's Christmas present ["From the Shiffolds"] and re-acquaint himself with some of the poems he had heard in Bob's 'melodious & most off-setting voice in Bloomsbury Square', particularly the Helen poem and "Spectacles"; has always bee 'thankful rather than otherwise' for his short sight, as it gives him 'two outlooks on the world, one beautifully fused as [Bob describes] it, with a great gain in depth & richness of colour'. Supposes the 'lost friend' in "Ten Years After" is Goldie [Lowes Dickinson], since one of the other poems Bob read 'celebrated' him as his 'companion for walking in the woods'. Will be moving about over the next few weeks, so if Bob plans to send him his translation of the "Georgics", to which he is much looking forward, he should 'direct it to Brookes's"
