MS Charlotte Mitchell/Cobweb-71

My dear Cobweb,
I am staying here with the Secretary and we both give our parting greetings to one of our oldest original members. I wonder if you will ever have time to continue the Composer series in the Barnacle- I remember when Christabel told me how many lives you proposed, I was rather alarmed for the chance of the Barnacle living long enough to contain them all.

If you wish still to see the said Barnacle, please let Christabel know- though what is become of the present one is more than I can say

your affectionate
Mother Goose
