Xmas Day [late 1940s?]
My dear Maud
Thankyou for the present – especially for the spirit in which it was sent (as the man said about the brandy-cherries) – I only minded your suggestion that Switzerland was more civilized than England because you could get better dinners & drink wine there!
You must certainly do F.S. for the Oxf: Hist – if only to counteract (I forget his name)1
Let us meet soon
Love
RVW
