Autograph letter signed : Renishaw Hall [near Sheffield], to Jane Clark, "Monday" [1950-1951].

Longing to see her, noting that she has heaps of news to share; remarking that her last poem hasn't "come through" yet because she is being pestered by a) the British Council, b) having to finish a long essay on poetry for an encyclopedia, c) Carson McCullers, and d) fear of dying.
