Title
Letter from Lady Catherine Ashburnham to Rupert Gunnis
Date
4 Jan 1945
Description

Those terrible creatures have had a battle royal, and CA found a clawless dragon and a toothless greyhound, and a room showing signs of confusion and riot. Their tails seem to have come out of curl, which is a bad sign with pigs. Discusses the excavations on the estate. States that it is very kind of RG to offer to write to Theo (a prisoner of war) once a week; Josephine [Crimmings] writes, and is next of kin. Is interested to hear of RG finding an account of a 16th-century visitation.
