Summary
Saying how much she enjoyed seeing her on Monday, complimenting her as looking much better than she had expected after such a long illness; looking forward to seeing her on Tuesday if she has not gone "raving mad" by then, noting that several old women are trying to come live with her and prevent her from writing poetry; sending two poems on a theme. With a postscript remarking that she heard from Natasha that Baby B (Beryl) is being very embarrassing.
