Summary
Thanking him for letter of October the 27th and hoping to read his lectures later on; answering queries about which of his father's books are still in print; saying that "Collected Poems that we publish does not contain anything written by my Father since 1942" and listing shorter collections of poems; planning to "bring out a new volume entitled Complete Poems, which will include everything that he published, as well as a certain number of unpublished poems, but that cannot make its appearance before the autum of next year at the earliest"; discussing volumes of published stories, including "A BEGINNING AND OTHER STORIES, which was the last book of short stories published in his lifetime"; hoping "to remedy the situation within the next two or three years" and "Both Kenneth Hopkins's book WALTER DE LA MARE: A SELECTION FROM HIS WRITINGS, and TEA WITH WALTER DE LA MARE by Russell Brain are now out of print"; saying Laurence and Theresa Whistler are at work on a biography that will include letters; asking to see relevant letters so they might make copies.
