Summary
Wishing "Walter could be my postmas too"; reacting to news about Marjorie Bowen and sharing that he fell twice in his bedroom recently; responding about Longfellow's house and it reminding him of Edgar Allan Poe's "minute domicile at the other end of New York"; discussing Reader's Digest; reporting that there is nothing from August Derleth; sending blessings; "trying in vain (at present) to finish a rhyme for children".
