Scope and content
Excuses the tardiness of response to Lyn's letter, making reference to illness and "senile decay". Mentions having been in Cambridge over the summer and going for "spins" on Huntingdon Road. Asks if she has read Grey Owl's Beaver Book "Pilgrims of the Wild". Mentions an example of fore-knowledge that he thinks might interest Max in Eleanor Acland's "Goodbye for the Present". Reports the rapid deterioration of his wife's health.
