Scope and content
28, Rue de la Tourelle, Boulogne sur Seine. - The money that Trevelyan has so kindly sent will enable Suhrawardy to come over to England. Has received some news from India which may develop into something good; will tell Trevelyan about it when they see each other. Is delaying his departure in order to travel with an uncle who is a member of the Indian branch of the Simon Commission [Abdullah al-Mamun al-Suhrawardy]. Cannot accept the Trevelyan's kind offer of hospitality, as he will need to be at the British Library every day, but would be happy to visit whenever is convenient; hopes to spend two months in England. Wonders whether he could get a job with the Simon Commission, and will ask Sir Sankaran Nair: this would give him enough money to stay in England. Will stay with the same friends as last year. Madame Germanova sends her regards. Met [Cyril] Connolly by chance; found him 'nice but very volatile'.
