Description

"He has opened his eyes upon a cold world, but babies don't seem to feel it; nor do lambs"

ALS signed “Beatrix Heelis,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, January 20, 1936. Letter to Christopher and Phyllis Fleming, in part: "I congratulate you heartily on the safe arrival of the little man…He has opened his eyes upon a cold world, but babies don't seem to feel it; nor do lambs. Life comes, and goes. I have not forgotten your enquiry about the words of 'Old Roger,' but the Postlethwaites have been all down with flue…The influenza has been in the north for some weeks, and it is carrying off old people…We have had a considerable fall of snow this weekend, the first time it has been very heavy here. We shall be thankful when the weather turns warmer; as this heavy wet snow is bad for the sheep." In fine condition.
