Postmarked Weybridge. - Regrets that they cannot have visitors since the cook is away and the cistern leaks. Warns Trevelyan that it difficult to avoid writing poetry: [Leo?] Greenwood spotted verse in an article of Forster's the other day. [Charlotte] Mew can be bought at the Poetry Bookshop.

Steep, Petersfield. - Glad to have Trevelyan's "New Parsifal": doubts he 'could enjoy the Old [Wagner's opera] as much'. Asks whether the 'Induction' was an 'afterthought'; supposes not, or Trevelyan is 'very civil to Longman [?] & his clerical sow-gelder'. Particularly enjoyed Trevelyan's 'long Aristophanic lines'; mentions other aspects he likes. Hopes there will be a performance 'before Gizadibs [?] is dead or the Phoenix reborn or Circe condemned to Apollinaris or Percival found at the Poetry Bookshop'. Hopes there is 'good news of Gordon [Bottomley]'.

c/o Mrs Askew, Esplanade, Grange over Sands. - Glad Trevelyan will be in London on the 29th, the date of Abercrombie's reading at the P.B.S. [Poetry Bookshop]. Possible arrangements. Would have liked to see Moore, but Hampstead is rather far.

c/o Mrs Askew, Esplanade, Grange over Sands. - His "exhibit" at the Poetry Bookshop to be on Thursday 29 May. Hopes to see Trevelyan in London. Will be at the given address till 27 May and perhaps longer. His family are all well.

Ryton. - Marsh is away, but the Abercrombies and Gibson are staying at his house on Monday. Abercrombie is booked to read at the Poetry Bookshop (address given) on Monday evening.
