1st Edition 1946. A 2pp. letter hand-written by Walter de la Mare Jack Haines. A 28 line letter written to poet and solictior Jack Haines.

He also mentions other poets and mutual friends- Jack Squire, Bernard Hockley - and laments the dying of so many friends. Comes with a copy of the 'Collected Lyrical Poems' by Vivian Locke Ellis, published by Faber in 1946. There is also a hand-written postcard card by Locke Ellis giving directions to Jack Haines telling him of the trains- and times of the trains- that he needs to catch to visit him. Book is very good++ and very bright. The wrapper is near very good with edges rubbed and nicked. Small loss to wrapper spine. A few odd closed tears to edges. More images can be taken upon request.
