Autograph letter signed : Old Windsor, to Siegfried Sassoon, 1942 November 27.

Writing that he knows Pembroke Studios in London well; sympathizing with Sassoon in his work on The Weald of Youth: "How difficult it is to get things right! I send you a book, the editing of which has cost me much pains, but I have no doubt it contains some errors that have escaped me. I think these letters are uncommonly vivid and well written and I hope you will enjoy them"; mentioning that he met Edward Marsh and Walter de la Mare at a "smart party a fortnight ago"; writing that he hopes Sassoon has "secure[d] the detachment necessary" for the next volume of his memoirs: "I don't expect to live for ever and I should like to read your description of that Dorchester performance of [TH's?] and of your visit to Blunt before I die -- also of your friendships with Max [Beerbohm] and [T.E.] Lawrence and de La Mare and many another"; discussing the course of the war: "I expect the spate of incredibly good news has cheered you and roused you to new endeavours. It has influenced everyone one meets in the street. So much subconscious worry removed even from those who refused to admit to constant disappointment. In what a different temper must Winston [Churchill] with all his courage now go to bed."
