Stuk 40 - Letter from Mary Fletcher to R. C. Trevelyan

1 letter

4 Weller Court, 66 Ladbroke Road, W.11. - Has read the "Homeric Hymn" [to Demeter, in this year's "From the Shiffolds"] and likes it very much: it seems 'specially welcome to have just one continuous poem, among so much that is scrappy (my own mind, I fear!) - nasty, brutish, & short'. Sends best wishes for 1950: never finds anything as good to 'even the balance' for the poems, but perhaps she will one day. The bookshop where she bought Bob's "Translations from Latin Poetry" for Harry [her brother?] said they had had quite a demand for it.
