Netherhampton House, Salisbury.

9th November 1920.

My dear John,

Your delightful book fell upon me quite unexpectedly and I am taking turns at it with others of my family. I did not know the Twins at all and I should like to talk to you about them when we next meet. About that, please tell your wife that I am trying to fix up December 3rd of 10th with Mansbridge and will write to her as soon as I have his decision.

Yours ever,

Henry Newbolt

P.S. The Naval History should have reached you last week. I have no idea whether you will be able to agree with it, but I hope you will find it ship-shape and Bristol-fashion.
