Scope and content
Had meant to ask whether they could lunch together, or whether Julian could visit the Shiffolds for a few days, but Bessie says he is away lecturing or teaching; hopes after that it can be arranged. Hopes he is 'in good or at least better health'. Things are 'better here': they are still managing without a 'house-servant'. but one is coming in about a week so Bessie is not worried. Will be sending his "Christmas-card of poems" [this year's "From the Shiffolds"] soon; there is 'nothing very new in it'. Hope Muntz's 'saga' about Harold and William the Conqueror ["The Golden Warrior"] is very successful; thinks this is deserved; has an extra copy which he could lend Julian if wanted. Lovely weather here 'above the fog'; must go out and try to write "Voices" - an essay, not a poem, he is afraid.
