Scope and content
The first 7 letters are addressed to Mrs Severne, the eighth 'Dear Cecily (if I may)'. The letters give an account of his daily activities. He praises John Gielgud in King Lear, encloses a pen portrait drawn on his place card from the Architecture Club's nineteenth dinner at the Savoy, mentions C. Verschoyle's novel for which he is trying to find a publisher, and recounts an anecdote of Lady Lloyd which claimed that Gandhi insisted that his preserved fruit should come from Fortnum and Masons.
