45 Temple Fortune Hill, London, N.W.11. - Thanks Bob for the "Hymn to Demeter" [in this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: a 'very lovely Christmas present'; Bob 'must have had some difficulty with the metre'. Is still 'very apologetic' about missing a lunch: had just started a new job in the Central Office of the Exchange Control, and 'life was, and is, hectic'. He and José [his wife] are organising some carol singers this year; they practised last night and 'the singing was robust rather than harmonious', but it is a 'joy to sing again!'. They are considering starting a local madrigal society. Asks when the Trevelyans are coming to see Jane: she is a 'bonny baby', very active, and has grown so much recently that he does not think Bessie would recognise her, Hopes they will meet soon after Christmas, will 'use a better mnemonic' next year.
