Scope and content

Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum, London, W.C. - Card originally enclosing the Chinese Poems; wants to send them to [Gordon] Luce next, around the end of September; Luce sends him 'such astonishing translations from the Burmese' that he is afraid he must find Waley's own translations 'very tame'; Waley sends them anyway to encourage Luce to translate more Burmese poetry. Trevelyan need not worry about them at all if does not want: he has 'shamelessly thrust them' on him, but 'so few people know anything about the matter'.
