Typed Letter Signed with autograph postscript, in his by now shaky hand, to Mr Clough regretting that he does "not seem to have any time to myself this summer and so would not be able to see the film you made from my poem 'Indoor Games Near Newbury' ..." but I am sure it is good and "it was kind of you to donate the £10 to the York Minster Restoration Fund ..." in the postscript he says that he "generally works the other way round - film first then I write the verse ..." , 1 side 4to., on his headed paper, no place, 13th July
