Howth, 16 Norham Gardens, Oxford; using headed notepaper for 69 Hamilton Terrace, N.W.8. - Thanks Bob for his card; would be very pleased to have a copy of his new poem ["A Dream"?]. Asks if he liked [Max] Beerbohm's drawing; she did though thought it perhaps was too like 'the gentleman "whose chin Resembled the point of a pin'. Hopes he and Bessy are well, and not worried about Julian [currently a war artist]; is well herself though 'finds life in war-time pretty depressing'. Is working for the Red Cross prisoners' libraries most of the time, which is 'interesting' and she thinks 'vvery good work'; is also doing some research towards a new book.

Birrell & Garnett Ltd, 30 Gerrard St, London, W1. - Will try and find a copy of [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson's poems for Bob, though fears this may be difficult. Much enjoyed Bob's poem about Dickinson in the "New Statesman".

British Museum, W.C.1. - Sorry he missed Trevelyan, who must stay with them next time he comes to London. Has done some 'miscellaneous T'ang poems', mainly by contemporaries of Po Chu-I, and encloses one [no longer present]. Is going to Tidmarsh [home of Lytton Strachey] on Sunday and is most excited: wants to see 'the education of those patient females' with his own eyes. Is attending a meeting of the Philological Society to hear a paper on 'the Ergonics [sic] of the Japanese Language'; does not know 'in the least what that means'. Asks if Trevelyan heard James Strachey's 'address to the 1917 Club on the Sex Question" on Tuesday evening. Can see 'the unmistakeable figure of [Harry] Norton] from the window, perhaps going from Gordon Square to 'tea with his sister Betty in Grays Inn'. Asks if Trevelyan has read the "Poet's Pilgrimage" by W. H. Davies, which he almost liked better than 'the tramp book' ["The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp"]
