Scope and content
100 Weston Rd, Gloucester. - 'Alas! not for me, but I shall get it' [Written while returning a copy of Trevelyan's edition of Arthur Waley's poems, "From the Chinese", wrongly inscribed to 'Gordon and Emily (Bottomley)': see 4/174, 183 and 184]. Apologises for not replying to Bessie's letter. He is spending time in Oxford, getting proofs of his "Inscriptions of Burma" through the University Press. News from Burma 'pouring in'. A postscript says he expects Arthur [Waley?] will tell him the allusion in the last couplet of the enclosed, though he expects Trevelyan will know it.
