Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Her letter [about "Maurice"] has given him 'the greatest pleasure': he had expected she might find the book interesting and that it would not shock her, but not that she would think so highly of it. He is not sure: the end is 'dead', and he thinks he can see what is wrong with it, and that there is 'too much theory' about Scudder, but does not think he will rewrite him. Bessie is also right about the 'change of method', though this was due to 'technical incompetence'; does not recall the changes of 'time-standpoint' and asks her to point them out when they meet. Hopes she likes M. [Maurice], who seems to him 'both nice and real'. Will probably not be able to go to Lulworth, as he is to be literary editor of the "Daily Herald" until Sassoon returns. "Where Angels Fear to Tread" and "The Longest Journey", which were out of print, can now be bought direct from him.
