My Dear

I have been reading the bronze poem again – I think it is beautiful – I am keeping it to myself for the present, but I do not see why I should¹ – I am immersed in a new job which has got to be finished soon – a latin version of “Sancta”.
All love – I am so glad you are having a good time² – I did not know Nigel³ was there – I am very  glad of that too.
All love

1.  Presumably a poem by UVW.
2.  i.e. at Cadgwith in Cornwall, where UW was filming with John Schlesinger.
3.  Nigel Finzi. In fact VW was assuming it was another Nigel, a friend of UW’s, who was there.
