Rowse the other day and I was gratified that he passed my Cornwall of nearly sixty years ago as correct'. He would 'very much like to see Gunwalloe again in one way but I should hate to see the motor-cars etc, all over the place. I almost always make it a rule never to revisit the glimposes of the moon'.…
