Autograph letter signed, written from Lismore Castle, County Waterford, the home of Lord and Lady Cavendish. CB describes the fun he is having with 'Dellywelly', ie Lady Cavendish, formerly Adele Astaire. He asks if Anita has seen the book Life and Lillian Gish which is 'the most astounding nonsense'. His sister Nancy is getting married 18 January, after which he sails for New York. The letter is undated, but dateable from its content to the latter part of 1932.
