Miscellaneous Correspondence, 1946 and 1974

 Series — Box: 1 4

This series consists of two pieces of correspondence, one autograph letter from Hope Mirrlees to Mrs. L. H. Cohn and one picture postcard addressed to T. S. Eliot from an unknown sender. The letter is dated May 1, 1974, and concerns the sale of Mirrlees's papers. The postcard may be from a member of Eliot's family, since in 1946 his brother resided in Cambridge. The postcard contains a newspaper clipping concerning a request from Poland for 4,000 cats to control a rodent problem; a handwritten notation under the clipping reads "practical cats." These items have been arranged chronologically.
