NICHOLSON (Norman, 1914-1987, Poet associated with the Cumbrian town of Millom)

Typed Letter Signed with autograph amendments to Michael CULLUP (born 1934, Author) thanking him for sending him "a copy of your poems ... I've not yet read them all - though Andrew Young used to say that you should never thank anyone for a book until you'd read it! - but I've sampled enough to enjoy their precision and shapeliness, often indeed, elegance. They show, one again, Carcanet's sense for the real thing ... I've visited Norfolk a number of times - the last, five years ago, in the Buxton-North Walsham area, on what was to be the last holiday with my wife. She fell ill just after our return, and died a year later, of cancer, so that East Anglia has a poignancy ... which seems to suit its landscape ..." with a postscript about gatecrashing a party at George Macbeth's Old Vicarage with Anthony Thwaite, 2 sides oblong 8vo., 14 St George's Tce, Millon, 24th February
