Holmwood Park Farm, Dorking. - Thanks Trevy for sending him his [poem] "Dream", which is 'full of those almost extinct qualities wisdom & beauty'; thinks 'the mixture of Piers Plowman & Po Chui is perfectly appropriate'. Would like to give him Roger [Fry]'s "Last Lectures", for which Clark wrote an introduction, but 'can't do up parcels' and even if he could it would get lost in the post, so will drop it at the Shiffolds early in the new year. They [he and his wife Jane] are going to Gloucestershire tomorrow for about a month, as their 'three children don't really fit in to this cottage'. Asks if Trevy has any news of BB [Bernard Beresford].
