Identifier: Folder 6

Scope and Contents

‘Very glad’ of her friendship, Masefield thanks Bull for her letter and ‘jolly’ photographs; encloses photos of Ledbury’s ‘sleeping’ Market House and of the Widow’s house ‘Down Bye Street’; discourses, with cartoon, on London’s 19th century street vendors, ‘the costers’, identifying them as generous, jolly people who put their wealth into clothes, donkeys and enjoyments, instead of banks; offers autograph for Bull’s copy of Gallipoli; emphasizes that post-war England is changed down to the marrow; concludes that, but for the myriad war dead who can’t be brought back, the present is ‘a 1000 fold’ better than the past.
