23 Amherst Road [corrected from printed notepaper, 'Fallowfield Rectory'], Manchester 14. - Thanks 'Uncle Bob' for his 'delightful Christmas Card' ["From the Shiffolds"]. Very pleased to have more of his poetry, which is of the 'meditative quality' she personally enjoys; must be 'fun you can go on writing it "when you're old & grey"'. Very sorry she was away when he came to The Park; Aunt Annie 'keeps wonderfully well' despite her 'great age'. John has just accepted the living of Lanercost in the Borders; it is 'that old Norman Priory, and the church is the nave of the old building... highly romantic and extremely remote'. He is much looking forward to it, and she hopes he will be able to go on writing. Sends best wishes for Christmas; glad Aunt Bessie has 'the pleasure of little Philip', given the 'abysmal tragedy' which has overtaken the Netherlands.
