40 Manor Way, Chingford Hatch, London E.4. - Trevelyan does him 'honour' by sending him his "From the Shiffolds", which he has 'read with relish'. Is not qualified to judge the translations as translations, 'being uneducated: but their beauty and strength in English is impressive', while the other poems are appealing for their 'individuality and assured ease'. The last section of "To Marjory Allen" has a 'noble simplicity which recalls Gordon Bottomley'. Has been hoping Trevelyan might write an elegy on Bottomley: their minds and 'high conception of artistic responsibility were so much in tune that it would be a notable thing'. Reminds Trevelyan that he promised to lend him 'G.B.'s theatre book' ["A Stage for Poetry"?] which will be 'cherished and returned safely'.
