Scope and content
Greville House, Little Baddow, Chelmsford. - Thanks Bob for his Christmas cards this year and last ["From the Shiffolds"]: has felt guilty for twelve months for not thanking him for the 1945 one. Hopes that Bob and Bessie are keeping well, and 'do not find the world too unpleasant to live in'; it seems 'a poor place now with little prospect of improvement' to him: keeping alive through the last war is 'about all'. However, there is still sometimes sunshine, the 'birds chatter', and poets like Bob 'manage to become sufficiently detached to sing to us about things removed from our present discontent'; wishes him good luck and tells him to 'keep it up'.
