Scope and content
10 Pelham Place, S.W.7. - Was 'very much moved' by Bob's poems [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: both to have been remembered by him and by many of the poems themselves. Is 'passing through a bad patch' of having to hold his 'nose... to the grindstone to produce funds', and Bob's poems 'soothed' him greatly. Is writing a 'most awful book' for Kodaks on 'Photography in Education'. Margaret has been ill and has been operated on for varicose veins in her leg, but she is better now and hopes to 'get home to the country and resume a normal life' this Friday. Has been lecturing on 'Visual Aids to Education' at 'a thing called "The Bath Academy of Art"'. Henriette Sturge Moore, who teaches Dramatic Art there, has spoke 'affectionately' of him to Bob and Bessie. Margaret sends love to them both.
