11 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn, W.C.2. - Thinks that Mr [Peter?] Grant-Watson is coming to stay for a week with Mrs Anderson at Peaslake, and hears it would be a 'great pleasure' to both if she could bring them to see the Trevelyans. Understands Mr Grant-Watson is a friend of the Trevelyans, and Mrs Anderson is a 'great admirer' of Trevelyan's poetry; asks him to send a postcard to Fourways, Gomshall, Surrey, where she will be all next week, if the visit will be convenient. Knows that a 'visitation of 4 people' - those named, herself and her 'friend & driver Mrs Gabriel' will have 'implications' in 'these days of rationing'; asks whether they may bring their rations of tea and milk if they come in the afternoon. Would be a 'great pleasure' to see the Trevelyans again, and to thank him for his Christmas poems ["From the Shiffolds"] in person which have been a 'delight'. Has had a message from the India Office saying that [her husband] Fred arrived in Tunis yesterday [on his way to India for the Cabinet Mission on Indian independence?]; he 'went off full of serenity [?] & optimism'.
