Scope and content
End House, Chiltern Road, Chesham Bois. - Thanks him for sending them his 'Christmas book of poems' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]; particularly likes "Dandelions" which expresses well an emotion she herself has often felt in May, "The Veil", amd the translation of Menander 533. Lucy [Ethel Luce-Clausen] seems 'much happier now she is leading an urban existence once more': happened to mention planting rose trees in a letter, and Lucy replied that the thought gave her 'cold shudders' and 'the word "garden" is anathema'; it must have been all the 'bitter winters in the country', but made Mona laugh. Sends best wishes to the Trevelyans for 1948.
