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]'.
