Typed Letter Signed to fellow author Aubrey Hodes

However, we may wish to shorten the first two pages and hope you will not mind this. You will certainly be sent a proof copy...”, 1 side A4 on Encounter Magazing headed paper, 25 Haymarket, London, 8th March
With Cyril Connolly and Peter Watson, Spender co-founded
