5 Raymond Buildings, Gray's Inn WC1. - Asks Bob for a copy of his translation of Lucretius ["Lucretius on Death"], and also to send a copy to Mrs [Alberta?] Montgomery, Grey Abbey, Ireland; encloses payment for these. Notes that he sent a postal order for the "Pterodamozels" [see 19/48] but has not received his copy; asks whether the order arrived. The book 'sounded very jolly from the "Times".

Very sorry his play [the "Pterodamozels", see 19/49] never reached Eddie and sends another copy. There has been a slight delay about the "Lucretius [on Death]", but hopes to send Eddie and Mrs Montgomery's [Alberta? Montgomery, see 19/49] copies in a week. He and his family are going to Arnside, near Silverdale, next week until Christmas, to be near a school where they are sending Julian as a day boy; will see Lascelles [Abercrombie] at Liverpool on the way up, and will try to remember to write telling Eddie how Lascelles and his family are, as well as Gordon [Bottomley], whom they will be near. When he saw Lascelles last June, he semed 'less tired and gloomy than last year', while Catherine [his wife] was also 'fairly cheerful', but he thought that after the war he would 'have to accept the first American offer' to be a lecturer or professor in the US, unless something turned up here.
