Scope and content
The Bothy, Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe, Glos. - Received Trevelyan's 'lovely Christmas present' ["From the Shiffolds"] on Saturday when about to go on a short journey; wanted to take the booklet with him but his wife thought it was 'too precious'; apologises for the resulting 'uncivil delay' for thanks, as he wanted to read the poems before replying. Loves the 'warmth and wisdom' in all Trevelyan's poems; lists some which he 'adore[s]'. Will always be reminded of the evening when Trevelyan read some of them to him and they 'went on accompanying one another to our bedrooms, like schoolboys'. Read some of the 'delightful' essays in "Windfalls" recently, which he bought as a friend's birthday present after finding it in an 'amazing little bookshop... in this village; they have all the best things and read them'. Read an excellent notice on Julian's exhibition [at the Lefevre Gallery] and wishes he could have seen it; is 'too cowardly to go to London yet', and hopes Trevelyan has not been 'troubled by bombs or rockets'. Met Humphry Trevelyan and his 'charming wife' and fancies he has 'made friends with them'. Hopes to see Trevelyan again some time and meet his wife; his own wife also loves the poems.
