he [Ted Hughes] wrote: "Luxury is stuffed down your throat--a mass-produced luxury--till you feel you'd rather be rolling in the mud and eating that." In a letter from 1960, Hughes tells his sister [Olwyn Hughes] that "everybody's full of Harold Pinter" following the playwright's first production of The Caretaker in London.
The British Library notes that, in most cases, Plath added her news to the reverse or end of Hughes' letters "providing an interesting juxtaposition of handwriting, opinion and subject matter".
