DE LA MARE (Walter John, 1873-1956, Poet and Novelist)

Fine Typed Letter Signed with an autograph addition, to "Dear Rosemary" SISSON (1923-2017, Dramatist and Novelist) when she was a child saying that her "letter came just when I was turning the corner. It wasn't very much of a corner, but still I was turning it, and after I read it I thought the view was lovely. I wish I could have seen the thatcher. As often as I have had the chance I have watched; did he put any ornamental bits in - a cockadoodle at the corner of the roof? They do sometimes. I'd love to come to the cottage some day. Please tell Mischeif [sic] not to get too much of a cat by then. What is the best way, do you think? - to persuade him not to, I mean. I don't know why, but seven fantails decided to sleep in the garden yesterday in a sort of cobbled alley. You would hardly have been able to tell them from the frost, though there wasn't much of a moon last night. Please give my love to everybody. It would be lovely if Mummie would bring you all 4 over some Sunday ...", 1 side 4to., Hill House, Taplow headed paper, 18th January
