Scope and content
K[ing's] C[ollege] C[ambridge]. - Thanks Bessie for [Gide's] "Les Faux-monnayeurs". Recommends that she read "Helen of Troy" ["The Private Life of Helen of Troy", by John Erskine?]: everyone he has lent it to has enjoyed it. George Thompson [sic: George Derwent Thomson?] was delighted with it. Discusses whether Thompson will settle in Ireland. Seeming mismanagement of the 'repertory theatre' [Cambridge Festival Theatre?]: it is fortunate the "Oresteia" is postponed. Has seen nothing of Grey [Terence Gray]. Is reading the new edition of Shelley's letters.
