Pièce 160 - Letter from Arthur Ransome to R. C. Trevelyan

Low Ludderburn, Windermere. - Has much enjoyed Trevelyan's "The Foolishness of Solomon", and thinks no-one else writing today write 'such smiling narrative poetry'; almost feels like telling him not to bother trying to write prose, though 'adventure is a gorgeous thing in itself', and wonders what he wants to do in prose that he cannot in verse.
