London, N.W.1.

October 15th 1957.

Dear John,

First, Thank you and Alice very much for your birthday wishes. I wish you both could have come to one of the parties, but I quite realise how impossible it was.
Your account of R.O.M.1 and Job is most interesting.
I am glad the Elegy sounded well in the Cathedral.2

Love to you both from both of us,
Yrs
