Scope and content

50 Gordon Square. - Likes Bob's '"fu" very much' ["The Dream" in "From the Shiffolds?"]; thinks it is his 'best long poem'. Will 'repay it inversely' by asking Bob soon to read the proofs of the Chinese novel he has translated ["Monkey"]; hopes Duncan Grant will do the cover for it; will send Bob a copy when it is published, but there might be delays. Not possible to cycle over from Walton Heath in winter, but Bob should let him know if he is ever in London and might have time to lunch with him. 'Events in the Far East' have changed the nature of his work. Transfers are 'very complicated': he is a member of the 'Intelligence Unit of the Censorship [?]', but is seconded to work in 'the Far Eastern Section of the M[inistry] of Inf[ormation]n.
