Masefield, J. to Bull, D. correspondence, 1919-10-13
Folder 6
Scope and Contents
Boar’s Hill, Oxford. Oct 13. Masefield replies to Bull’s ‘very kind’ response regarding circuses in America; notes that circuses in England have returned to wake ‘divine longings’ now that the horses can be fed; draws cartoon of woman on horse with clown high-stepping behind; sends photos of places in his poems: Mary’s house in Daffodil Fields and the ‘scene of the meet’ in The Fox. Masefield asks for another photo of Bull; quips about the clipping sent him and wonders what Bull is “doing + reading”; guesses that Bull refers to a ‘Miss Macurdy’ of Vassar with family on Rathlin Island off the n-e Irish coast where the Masefields often went but may never go again.
