Scope and content
West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Is very sorry that Trevelyan does not want to take the part of the Recorder [in the pageant "England's Pleasant Land"]; sympathises with his reluctance to use an open air microphone. Thanks him for his generous offer regarding a substitute. Has been at Dover with his mother and is going there for Whitsun; did not want the Dover flat again and cannot really afford it, but it helps solve 'a muddle made by someone else'. Has at last managed to finish a Balzac novel: "La Recherché de l'Absolu". Has also read Thornton Wilder's "Heaven's my Destination": 'amusing and also rather moving'. Advises him not to see the Lunts in [Jean Giraudoux's] "Amphitryon 38" and wonders what Desmond [MacCarthy] thought of it; finds Lunt 'vulgar and awful'. Is writing "What I believe" for Simon and Schuster. Asks if Trevelyan is coming to the [Apostles'] Dinner: Moore will be there.
