From Francis Pott, a 24-year old composer and teacher of music. He asks Nicholson if he can make a musical setting of his poem 'Caedmon'. He discusses the poem and outlines his plans for the setting, which would involve orchestra, organ, an increased percussion section and tenor voice. He particularly stresses its association with the sea, which is his greatest source of musical ideas.
