TitleHandwritten letter from Dora Axon to Charles Ogden
Date7 Nov 1947
DescriptionReports getting a letter from her sister. Discusses the will, her part ownership of the house and possible future transactions. Has given non-commital acknowledgment of a letter about the public library's interest in books and papers. Mr Woolis also interested: mentions Woolis's opinion of Menuhin's playing. Cannot imagine what the rooms will be like when the books have gone: would be like Ogden being relieved of his clocks and music boxes. During a walk met Mrs Hill and a woman who voiced pleasure at a recent recital. Mr Hill, pianist; and teacher at Buxton school will invite her to play in a gathering at the Hills' house. Is reading Basic books and "Book of Words" by Ivor Brown. Reports Brown's observations about Milton's and Shakespeare's use of words. Amused at Ogden's suggestion that she should read "The Meaning of Meaning" to make her mind more elastic. And amused at working on "International Talks"; comparing her version of the text in Basic with Ogden's.
