Autograph Letter Signed to Michael CULLUP
(born 1934, Author) saying that she is "very old and tired (shall be 100 in 1997 if spared, which Heaven forbid. Your poems are not at all bad, except for gloom and despondency - indeed very vivid here & there - some striking epithets (like Lydia Bennett's bonnet, there are plenty worse in the shop). Somehow I do not think your work has 'bottomed out' yet. Keep it up - never despair ... If you have a pocket magnifying glass, try looking at the flowers of a few very small weeds - I am not making fun of you - they are most eloquent. 'The yellow toadflax said 'be still', I see the Powers, They see me' ...", 2 sides 8vo., 71 Chilton Road, Aylesbury, 17th March
