Part of a large collection of autograph and typed letters from Walter de la Mare to Tom Turner. Letters in the collection are described in individual records (MA 2234.1-84).
Summary:
Discussing books; mentioning a "sudden annoucement" that made it impossible for Turner to have "peaceful and mind-quiet time at Christmas" [perhaps the engagement of Mary, Turner's daughter?]; saying that he hopes "all will come well" since Turner doesn't "actually disapprove"; noting that althought his first daughter's engagement "was quite a happy one," he also "nearly wept."
