Letter from Walter de la Mare, Twickenham, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1949 June 17 : typescript signed with autograph manuscript postscript.

Asking forgiveness for "Yet another affliction"; saying he "wrote on the 15th to a Mr. Richard Kennedy of the M.C.A.M." to ask about serialization, asking if "this kind of activity is as practicable as it used to be when Miss Frances Pindyck, to mention only one name, dealt with these matters"; enclosing a "letter to the Macmillan Co."; recounting "a letter of last December" in which [Alfred Knopf] tells him which collections of stories have "stock and plates" and which plates "were melted during the war by Government regulation"; remarking "What a dull letter: & what a lot of trouble I give you. Do please give me a big lump of this by return."; describing birds "singing as heartily as ever at 4 a.m."
