Pièce 71 - Letter from Beryl de Zoete to R. C. Trevelyan

1 letter

50 Gordon Square, W.C.1. - Thanks Bob for his 'beautiful C[hrist]mas card' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]; particularly likes "A simple pleasure" and the poems around it, as well as the 'very happy translations'. They [she and Arthur Waley] are looking forward to seeing both Trevelyans soon, if 'you will allow us to come', and they 'must fetch [their] things away'. Has been visited by a publisher who, with a 'lecturer in Paris', wants to publish a book of her photographs, so she must find the negatives. Paris was 'delightful'; she was invited on a mission to China, and wishes 'they would stop fighting!'. 'Best love' to Bob and Bessie from her and Waley, and 'all good wishes for 1946'.
