Dorking.

Feb 14 [1934 or 1935]

Dear Joyce 

What a lovely thought of yours – and the box has just come. I like having some of y^r handiwork in the house immensely¹. 
I won’t say anything about the design for I havn’t taken it in &  only had time to admire the soft grey glaze.  I must choose the right weight books for them. 
It was nice to see the green [ink] again & I hope it means you are well again. 
We would love to see you both on 24^th –  Would you like to come  for lunch at 1. or later. 
This is a scrap to catch post – we are nursing a sick puss – poison or something like it. 
Love from us 
Yrs

1.  Joy had studied pottery and sculpture at the Central School of Arts & Crafts. Possibly these were pottery book-ends.
