13A Hanover Terrace, Ladbroke Grove, W.10. - Thanks Bob for the copies of his [translation of Aeschylus's] "Oresteia"; will give away the copy without his name in as Bob suggests. Thinks it wonderful 'how successfully' Bob has captured the Greek metres, and agrees that an English writer might find 'practicable ideas for writing English [sic] verse'; is still troubled by the anapaests, and wonders why they are more difficult than the other lyrics. Bob says so in his preface, but does not discuss the matter further.Has been at Oare with the Waterlows [Sydney and Helen] for Christmas; will now stay in London; is lecturing on 'prewar diplomacy' at the London School of Economics next term, so is reading nothing but 'this dreary and criminal diplomacy, which is well in the saddle again after the war to end war'. Morgan Forster is coming to lunch today; did not know his "Alexandria [: A History and Guide]" was out. Sends love to Bessie; tells Bob to come and visit when he is next in town.
