Summary
Talking about how it has been 6 months since he heard from Mellor, who probably remembers Gunn being a lousy correspondent; saying that he is enclosing the 2 poems Mellor asked for; giving his address and whereabouts for the next couple months; adding how someone showed him a copy of the first edition of Fighting terms the other day, and it had John Masefield's bookplate and thoughts "indecent clever ugly intellectual -- last poem good example."
