| Description | Newman refers to chocolates which Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury had sent to him and remarks comically about his knighthood writing 'playing about with knighthoods & things is awful rot compared with eating Cadburys chocolates'. Newman comments that he always became 'frivolous' when writing to Taylor Cadbury, despite being 'turned 40 - & dejected'. He concludes his letter with a limerick about his career, his Quakerism and receiving his knighthood which reads:
'A simple young Quaker of Dene.
Who taught the kids how to keep clean,
Expected a "Bath",
So he cried in his wrath,
When they gave him a Knighthood:
"How Mean".'
Newman invites Taylor Cadbury to come and visit him and his wife Adelaide in their new flat which he describes as 'small & smelly'. |
