Dear Shaw

So many thanks for your card – How are you – better I hope – Did I ever thank you for the Xmas Carol Book – I wish I had it here.
I hear that your brother Geoffrey is going in for Rugby – For their sake I hope he’ll get in  – for ours not.¹
I enclose this letter which may amuse you as showing the ways of our “musical editors” – I refused!²
Yrs
