25 Wellington Square; addressed to Bibesco at Hotel Meurice, Rue de Rivoli, Paris. - It is 'very kind' of Bibesco to have ordered a copy of her book ["A Pier and a Band"], but also 'lamentable' as she had ordered a copy for him sent to Grosvenor Road [his London home] 'Not to be forwarded', as she 'did not like to thrust it upon [him] in Paris'. Has had some good reviews, and feels a little more cheerful about it than she did on the day it was published. Everyone hopes Bibesco will return soon. Maurice Baring's [illegible] is in England; knows Bibesco asked Desmond for his address.

Thanks Trevelyan for the postcard; very kind of him to have ordered her book ["A Pier and a Band"], though she is 'sure it is most unsuitable to read in Paris'. Asks him to tell Francis Birrell, with her love, that 'the great Lytton Strachey' liked her book so her 'price went up in Bloomsbury where the poison of asps lies under tongues'.

Hopes she 'may find [Trevelyan] in the bathroom one day when peace has broken out'.

Hopes that C[onscientious] O[bjector]s 'have no conscientious object to VICTORY!!'

Postmarked London E.C; addressed to Trevelyan at 53 Rue de Rivoli, Paris 1er. - Sends thanks to Trevelyan, [Antoine] Bibesco, and [Francis] Birrell for the 'charming message'. Wishes he could come to Paris, and will do so as soon as the war is over. Asks Trevelyan to give his regards to [André] Gide if he sees him; is sorry not to have met up with Gide again after they parted at Liverpool Street.
