Letter from Walter de la Mare, Twickenham, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1955 February 4 : autograph manuscript signed.

Remarking on his "prolonged silence" and the letters that have piled up during "that absurd trouble that occured weeks ago and caused a slight concussion"; saying he is "still not quite quit of it" and that he "was in the midst of revising and writing a collection of short stories--which Fabers I still hope will be publishing this spring"; keeping in bed and taking "enough medication to sink a Dreadnought"; perking up at spring; asking Wagenknecht to write again soon; O Lovely England may be issued in America with sheets from Fabers.
