Since Bridges cannot reply personally to all those who contributed to his 80th birthday present, he sends them a portrait photograph of himself with the clavichord, taken by Lady Ottoline Morrell and engraved by Emery Walker. Praises the 'beauty & excellence & great value' of Dolmetsch's instrument. Appreciates the recognition of his love for 17th century music and respect for his Poet Laureateship.
