Summary
Hoping Turner "didn't ... think for a moment that [De la Mare] didn't appreciate the books" Turner sent him; explaining that the book problems he mentioned in his last letter only pertain to "unwanted" books; noting that his beard "vanished from [his] chin"; saying that writing verse is "just manageable at times."
