Letter to BL, 27 February 2020: (The birth date for Barbara Comyns (1909-1992) seems to be incorrect. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives 1907 (they consulted her birth certificate) and British Writers: Supplement VIII notes that "Barbara, the fourth, arrived on 26 December 1907 (since she habitually knocked a few years of her age, in later life, the year 1909 is frequently given)")
