Scope and content
100 Weston Rd, Gloucester. - Is very grateful for the present [Trevelyan's edition of Arthur Waley's poems, "From the Chinese"] and encloses a revised version of his poem [see also 4/173, 183 and 184]. Explains the allusion in the final couplet: a Chinese story which has 'become the symbol for artistic restraint'. Still busy with getting the fourth and fifth portfolios of "Inscriptions of Burma" through the Press at Oxford, and his share of the Burmese Dictionary for Stewart. Is worried because he cannot get on with "Old Burma". John hopes to be in England by Christmas.
