Summary
Wanting to write more about "the pages on Miss M. you sent me" but spent a fortnight in Bournemouth "and the letters have got more in arrears than ever"; sending birthday book to Dick; saying he would "love Ardizzone to be the illustrator. His drawings in 'Peacock Pie' never cease to enchant me" and discussing his drawing during the war; marveling at Wagenknecht's teaching and reviewing.
