Dearest Sylvia,

Many thanks for your letters - the last of which arrived on Christmas day - which pleased me very much. I have not much time to write now as this morning I have to arrange a treasure hunt with Deirdre, go to tea with Dr. Antal, and then rush back to Wimbledon for a tedious party. But I want to send you my love and a poem which I managed to scribble down between tiresome games and the like.

I saw three ships come sailing in:
One, scarred with frozen spime,
Bore a glass rose only Love could win
To colour and perfume.

The second, from the tropic South,
Had monkeys in the rigging,
In the hold was fruit for lovers` mouths
For which Kings were begging.

The third ship brought my love to me,
The sails reared like a phoenix,
My love came landward from the sea,
An admiral from a chrysalis.

I think it is a good idea to go to Stafford and I will write off to the Librarian who arranges the exhibition details for more accommodation. I hope to see Blackheath early in the New Year. By the way, shall we stay a night in Birmingham - to give us more time for the Wilsons, etc?
