Thanking him for his kind words about her poems; mentioning that ill health has kept her from writing, but enclosing a poem she has just completed and noting that when she has a much larger selection she would like him and Jane to choose one to be dedicated to them; discussing his essay "Leon Battista Alberti on Painting;" praising his work and hoping he will write more, noting that she has a "passion for reading criticism." Saying that she and Osbert greatly enjoyed visiting them and that their house is one of only five in which she feels really comfortable.
