On headed notepaper for the Omar Khayyám Club, St Margaret's House, Ironmonger Lane, E. C. - At one of Quaritch's dinners a letter from FitzGerald was read out which used the word 'Omarian'; this word was 'at once adopted by the Club''. Last weekend's 'Writers and Readers' column in the Daily Chronicle stated that the word was 'of recent introduction and of questionable taste'; asks if Quaritch could write to the Chronicle 'giving the authority for the term'. Hudson could do so, if Quaritch were to lend him the letter, or send a copy.
