Scope and content
G[reat] Malvern. - Is 'flattered' that Bob sent him some of his work ["From the Shiffolds"], and much enjoyed reading the poems; perhaps liked the first best. Bob was ill last time he saw him; hopes he has no recovered from the accident, and that Bessie is well. Daniel is in Italy, and Ralph in the Netherlands. He is returning from Wiltshire to a government department, where he 'write[s] film scripts for the R.A.F'.
Poem, "The Poet Laments his Trade", presumably by Waley, on the back on the letter, complete with footnotes.
