Scope and content
The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Has yet not thanked Bob for his Christmas present; wanted to read it again before he wrote. Very pleased to think that his Leith Hill Woods are 'commemorated' in Bob's poetry. Tells Bob not to refuse if he is 'offered the Laureateship' [a reference to the failing health of Robert Bridges?], as would be his own 'purely unofficial wish', if only to 'keep out that awful woman [Edith Sitwell?]' whom he believes 'thinks she is going to get it.
