1 Amis never visited Larkin in Hull, travelling for his funeral in 1985 only as far as St Mary’s, Cottingham.

2 Supplies of fuel from the Middle East were cut off when Gamal Abdul Nasser, President of Egypt, blocked the Suez Canal when threatened by an Anglo-French-Israeli attack in late October 1956. The government in Britain restricted fuel sales from the end of November, which led to panic buying.

28 November 1956

Lettercard

Hull

My dear old Creature,

Many thanks for the extra letter – it was nice to hear that you had been sleeping in your own basket for once, though not because you had a cold.1 I love to hear the little details of your life. I bought a tea-set yesterday – 21 pieces, Wedgewood, fairly ordinary but quite nice. Also the 3 Sassoon books! After lunch I shall take things to the cleaners & buy some bacon. How kind of Kitty to buy violets. Expect me on Friday.

With all love Philip
