The three items in good condition, with light signs of age and wear. LETTER: 2pp., 8vo. A splendidly waspish missive. Topics include: her 'letter to Mickie' ('masterly diplomacy'); 'dear Miss Massey, wounded on active service for the BIS' (with references to 'Mrs. Draper' and 'His Lordship'); his lectures at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth ('They are not without humour but life is very grim and earnest for them and they don't want to waste a single moment that might be vaguely cultural: all this shows a decent respect for the state subsidy which is not always found in Oxford'; a broadcast by him (including reference to 'John Davenport of the BBC'); 'Ivor and the Bomerang' (the latter 'gave me to understand that I. B-T had quite given up politics as the Tories do not avail themselves of him'); 'the Keats affair at Guy's'. There is also a reference to 'that delightful, accomplished eccentric Nancy Cunard whom I was delighted to find unexpectedly accroupie one cold night over the fire in the bar of the Kings Arms'. Davenport is said to have 'let her down badly about a book on Norman Douglas she is publishing. In between a visit to the Pitt-Rivers Museum to check details for a chapter on African sculpture and a visit to Raymond Mortimer in hospital near Salisbury Nancy had suddenly decided to seek accommodation with no luggage but a protege-Spanish-poet; her tiger-skin snood, or fillet, and her rush of French and Spanish rhetoric of which the only generally distinguishable words were "Norman", "Augustus" and "Dylan" brought a nouveau frisson to the barmaid, the Dean of Trinity and the surrounding rugger-men.' Another excellent passage reads: 'Mickie licks up any compliments as a cat does cream and has a real Yorkshire feeling for the Dear Departed, even when only remotely known, and Burying Father with Ham etc - des larmes faciles as one of her tame ENSA contesse used to say, when an extra NAAFI whiskey bottle had induced yet another performance of The Death of Marie Lloyd'.
