Letter from Walter de la Mare, Penn, Buckinghamshire, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1947 January 20 : typescript letter with autograph manuscript postscript.

Speculating that books from Faber have arrived and offering to send inscripted copies; saying he is not bothered by mistakes in introduction to "WHEN I WAS A CHILD" and wondering if any readers really notice; expressing delight about "the Bible Anthology" and remarks about himself in the preface; looking forward to "a long-hoped for talk with you--at Twickenham"; discussing the elimination of "A Story fof Jesus" from collection to avoid argument and oppositely praising argument in general; expressing interest "in you other idea of an imaginative life of Maurice Hewlett" and remembering meeting him and learning later of his death; in postscript saying not to worry about a story fee.
