| Evidence: | 'The book which I had ordered had arrived and gives me the same exciting feeling when I glance into it - I have told you before how I want you to read ?Dodsworth?, and now you will be able to as I am sending it to you ? I daren?t get too enthusiastic about it in case you don?t like it. ???. I have been reading ?Mutiny on the Bounty?, but it seems tame after the film. ?? . I now have two books to read out of the library, ?Daughter to Philip? by Beatrice Kean Seymour, and ?Jake?, by Naomi Royde-Smith, which I have heard about somewhere, and is I think the story of a musician.' |
