86 Walton St. , S.W.3; on headed notepaper from Brook's, St James's Street, S.W.1. - Thanks Bob for 'the little Christmas book of translations' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]; has 'not compared them with the originals, but they seem to be beautifully done'; congratulates him on his choice of originals. Never read the "Moretum" before, and calls it an 'astonishing piece of Dutch detail'. Is himself bringing out a 'tiny book of little pieces', including translations from French, which is to be called "Minima". Adds a postscript to say he has 'now settled in four exiguous rooms' at the address above.
