Thanks him for sending him 'J'ai perdu..' [a translation of Alfred de Musset's poem Tristesse, which begins with these words], but claims that he is not altogether contented with it. Analyses parts of the poem in terms of its translation, and remarks, for example, that the second four lines do not seem to him 'to give Alfred's feeling.' Questions him in relation to 'the Translation of Faith [a poem by Myers] ', which he finds 'more than impressive.' Refers to 'the enclosed' [not included], which will show Myers how they have got on so far.
