Lemon Corner. - It is 'delightful' to get Bob's "Windfalls" [the new edition?]: knows many of the pieces 'so well', as Bob has read them aloud to her, but it is good to read them again; 'just a sip of nectar at a time' since she can only read for a few minutes; glad the print is good. Hopes Bob will not mind if she lends the book to one of his 'most ardent admirers', the lady to whom he sent the Vaughan Williams concert tickets; Olive always lends her the Christmas presents from Bob [his "From the Shiffolds"]. Wonders if Bob is keeping warm, and trusts he is not 'like all the inhabitants of this Infirmary, afflicted with rheumatics, arthritis, neuritis and what Milton calls Fierce Catarrh'; also that the 'domestic situation' is easier.
