British Red Cross Society, First British Ambulance Unit for Italy, S. Giovanni di Manzano, Udine, Italy. - Thanks Bob for 'Krishna' ["The Pearl Tree"], which he read yesterday on the first real Italian summer day and 'found it very refreshing to the spirit'; it has a '"mental atmosphere" of its own' giving it 'originality and success', and the metre is 'very fine and variegated'. Has been reading much Milton recently and appreciates the relation of Bob's poetry to the Miltonic metres. Is now reading the rest of the book ["An Annual of New Poetry, 1917"]. Asks in a postscript whether Bob invented the Krishna story.
