Scope and content
Thanks her for her congratulations and her help with the poems. Gives her permission to send them to Geering, who is an old and trusted friend. He will send her a copy when the book is published. His health is improved and he is enjoying the garden. He lost his mother (aged 94) and sister last year, and believes he is getting more like his mother as he gets older. His wife agrees that he is certainly as stubborn. Sends best wishes to Con and her husband.
