20, West Road, Cambridge - Arranges to meet for tea, tells her not to bother widening his circle of Cambridge acquaintance, it is far larger than he can cope with now.

at Grosvenor Hotel, London, S.W.1. (Dictated) - Thanks him for the copy of his 'The Woman Clothed with the Sun'; hopes it will open the eyes of Italians to 'the enormity of the crimes which are now being perpetrated in the name of Italy at the behest of a ruthless dictator'.

Astley Hospital for Officers, Dorchester House, Park Lane, W.1. - Thanks Trevelyan for remembering him; encloses a postal order [for Trevelyan's "Pterodamozels?".

20 West Rd, Cambridge. - Apologises for not thanking Trevelyan sooner for the 'delightful poems [he] sent at Christmas' ["From the Shiffolds"]; has 'not quite recovered yet from the earthquake of demobilization and the rush of starting one's old life anew'. Thought the poems 'most charming', and compares them to some of the pieces in "From the Chinese".

Originally enclosing some notices for [the forthcoming production of his own] "Meleager" and [Sturge Moore's] "Medea" for Julian to distribute; he is sending them to [F.L. or D.W. ?] Lucas and G.M.T. [his brother George], but it might be worthy giving one to people like [Clive?] Bell. Will see Bessie tomorrow. Perhaps should have gone to see the "Bacchae" [at Cambridge?], but did not have the energy. Hears Vanessa Bell 'thought well' of some of Julian's pictures. [Hasan] Suhrawardy has been here, and has got him to start translating the "Medea" for [Marie] Germanova, who may perform it in America. H.E. Field's book may be of interest; he was 'a charming and intelligent man, but not a very good painter'. Has sent via Bessie a duplicate from B.B. [Bernard Berenson]'s library of the [Frank] Sidgwick "Early English Lyrics".

20 West Road, Cambridge. - Was 'exceedingly busy' when Gow's book [on Housman] came...

Has not written for a few days, but has not had much news; all 'pretty well in spite of the cold'; hopes Bessie has been able to continue her 'short walks'. Went to Leith Hill Place yesterday and had a 'delightful talk' with [Leslie] Hotson, the 'scholar who has so many documents about Shakespeare and Marlow and their contemporaries'; used to know him in the Quakers Mission in France during the First World War, and he was also an old friend of Lascelles and Catherine [Abercrombie]. The Times Lit[erary] Supplement is sending him a book of translations from Greek poetry by F. L. Lucas for review ["Greek Poetry for Everyman"]; 'sure to be interesting', and much of it probably good; will keep him occupied for 'some time'. Thinks he has told Bessie about the dinner the [Apostles'] Society are giving in honour of him, George and Desmond [MacCarthy]; they have promised not to make Bob give a speech, so he can enjoy his dinner. May be his last visit to [George and Janet] at the Lodge [since George's time as Master of Trinity is nearly over]. Will see Humphry and G.E. M[oore]. Hopes to visit Bessie again soon when it is 'not quite so cold'. Wrote to Bertie [Russell] recently. Asks to be remembered to K.T. B[luth] and Theo.
