Letter from Edward Charles Sackville-West to John Betjeman, March 31, [1939?]

Correspondence between John Betjeman and Edward Sackville-West (the 5th Baron Sackville, novelist, music critic, and politician). Sackville-West tells Betjeman that the reason he received his letter late was because his father suddenly passed away. He suggests meeting for lunch one day as he's in London now and then. He also tells Betjeman that he enjoyed his book of poems called "Old lights for new chancels".
