1 letter

Nether Denton, Low Row, Carlisle. - She and [her husband] John were 'delighted' with 'Uncle Bob's poems [this year's "From the Shiffolds"], particularly 'the one about the Roman peasant [his translation of "Moretum"] which was 'one of the most vivid descriptions' she has ever read. Expects Bob has seen John Dower's poems, some of which she thinks have 'real charm & pace'; thinks it good he has 'found pleasure in writing, as he draws near the end'; hears he is in bed again. She and John are having a quiet Christmas in the 'northern retreat' they have 'managed to find near Lanercost', and will return to Chichester around the middle of January.
