Scope and content
Life & Letters, 21 Hill Street, Mayfair, London, W.1. - Sends thanks to Bessie for her postcard; hopes that Trevelyan's is indeed suffering 'little pain or discomfort' and asks to be let known when a visit is possible. He and Molly spent a 'cold and happy' weekend with the Hammonds. Wants Trevelyan to read "A Voyage to Arcturus" by David Lindsay, which he will send in a day or two as a change from Trollope. Encourages him to write a 'great straggling untidy work', which would bring him to a greater public and also give him much pleasure in composition.
