Letter from Walter de la Mare, Twickenham, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1952 April 7 : typescript signed with autograph manuscript postscript.

Discussing photographs Wagenknecht sent, especially of Walter; enjoying "the review from the S.R.L" and saying "Poetry prizes are odd things, but I am very glad one came to her--S.H.H. I mean, who, I think, I should guess, to be a poet, solely by this example of her prose"; reading "Mr. Sullivan's thesis" and a proof of "a book to be published here by Peter Nevill Ltd. of a thesis by Peter Penzoldt, of Munich, for the University of Geneva, entitled 'The English Short Story of the Supernatural'"; sending revisions to August Derleth and looking forward to Wagenknecht's introduction; coming across first poem "in the Pall Mall Magazine: a periodical which I heard was subsidised about 6d a copy by Lord Astor, who owned and, I think, edited it."; working hard; asking "Do you know Earl E. Fisk?".
