Horn Hill Court, Chalfont St. Peter, Bucks. - Thanks Trevelyan for his gift, "From the Shiffolds"; has read the poems with 'the same sense of repose & refreshment to the mind & spirit' which his work always gives her. Also had Lord Dunsany's long poem ["The Year"] as a gift for Christmas, and enjoyed many 'beautiful passages' in it including 'descriptions of garden and country'; thinks Trevelyan would also enjoy it. Her book "From the Chilterns" has had 'great success': has received appreciation from people such as Siegfried Sassoon, Arthur Bryant and W[alter] de la Mare to 'the most humble' such as her gardener. Quotes praise from Dr G[eorge] P[eabody] Gooch. Sent a copy to the "Times Literary Supplement", but they have not mentioned it; however, '[a]ll the London bookshops have taken copes', as have W. H. Smith for their 'railway and local (Bucks) shops.
