DAY-LEWIS
(Cecil, 1904-1972, from 1968 Poet Laureate)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Wood
saying that his "wife says that you asked to be reminded of a promise to sound Miss Spence about getting the Princess hall for a recital of dancing & madrigals: it all makes a very involved sentence. Oh, yes, & and there was something about doing it for charity, the Tewkesbury Abbey appeal fund ... I hope you understand the substance of this letter better than I do: my wife has compelled me to write it because, she says; it seems most improbable - you wanted my signatures ...", with a long postscript by his wife Mary asking if the letter is "at all coherent? It all sounds rather flippant but I should be very grateful indeed if you can smooth the way towards a demonstration of Greek and other dancing in Princess Hall ...", 2 sides 8vo., Box cottage, Charlton Kings, Glos, 'Saturday', no date
