Brooks's, St. James's Street, S.W.1. - Is 'most delighted' with Bob's Christmas present ["From the Shiffolds"], the poems are pure joy, in their mellow music & wisdom'. Particularly likes "Old Aeschylus" and sympathises with Bob's frame of mind [about modern poetry] except that he would not 'be so positive about the fault being in [himself]'; "An Age of Horses" is 'truly delicious'. Will not go on as they are 'all beautiful'. Mrs Stephen Gooden, 'wife of the great engraver' is 'compiling an anthology of cat poems', and Bob's "Pusska" should 'certainly appear'; has already made a copy and asks Bob if he may send it to her.

18/54: letter, 27 Dec 1945, from Mona Gooden to R. C. Trevelyan about the anthology of poetry about cats mentioned by Marsh.
