10, Hanover Terrace, Regent's Park, London, N.W.1. - Good to hear from Bessie; they hope they will see Bessie here at their new house; they love it and 'Ursula has made it beautiful'. Is sending a copy of one of his arrangements of "Greensleeves", from which he thinks Philip Erasmus can 'pick out the tune'; confesses it is a '"cento". There are several versions of the tune, and [he] took the best bits' from each', but feels he is 'quite justified'.
