Item 70 - Letter from Sybil Meredith to James Smith

2 single sheets

59 Redcliffe Road, S.W.10.—Praises him for persisting with his work on Wordsworth, etc., in difficult circumstances. Last Sunday she went to the cinema with Bullard, expecting him to ask a number of difficult questions, but the only things he said about Smith were that they would not hear from him until he was settled and that he once slept with him at Appletreewick. ‘I told Bullard he was very enterprising and he seemed quite gratified. I think he is very worried about you and is wondering if he ought to write to you.’ Has been to the theatre and other places of amusement with John [her nephew] and Aubrey [her brother]. William [her father] is ‘stationary’, which is all that can be hoped.

Dated Sunday.
