Conduit Head, Madingley Road, Cambridge. - Bob's letter about her poems gave her 'much pleasure'. Very grateful to have the 1948 "From the Shiffolds"; had always wanted to read that 'lovely poem about Goldy [Dickinson]' again, which is 'all soaked through with him'; she 'cannot read the end... without tears'. Mentions other poems she likes; the translations let her 'feel the Greek language' though she does not know it. Adds a postscript saying her cousin Ruth [Rees-Thomas] is now living at Abinger; hopes to visit in the spring and asks whether she could come and see the Trevelyans then.
