Scope and content
Catfield, Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Herts. - He and his wife much appreciated Trevelyan sending them his 'sheaf of little poems' ["From the Shiffolds"] and much enjoyed them. He and Trevelyan were 'born within a few weeks of each other', so "Sometimes in happy dream", 'touches [him] closely'. The Hammonds have had 'unlimited opportunities during the last forty years of studying and in certain repsetcs [sic: respects] trying to control the habits of cats' so "Pusska" is 'very vivid'. Hopes that Trevelyan has long recovered from his accident. Used to have news of him from Mary Moorman when they were in Manchester; their 'long exile' there ended last summer. Best wishes to both Trevelyans.
