Item 41 - Letter from Arthur Waley to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item: letter and suggestions on three papers torn from a notebook.

Likes it all very much [Bob's introductory essay for "From the Chinese"?]; encloses three pages of 'trifling suggestions', including: 'sevens' [a form of Chinese poetry] being 'just as common as "fives"' though harder to translate; when Chinese drama began; folk-song type material being 'more or less doctored by literary people'; a section at the end of the book about 'several specialized kinds of poetry' not represented here.
