Looking forward to seeing them on Saturday, mentioning that Willie M., Heldi and Louis MacNeice, and Natasha Spender will be there; regretting to hear that she and Kenneth are ill with influenza and a cold, respectively; remarking that she added another section to her poem "The Road to Thebes" as suggested by her and Kenneth; enclosing a copy of the revised poem.
