1 item.

Lloyd Triestino P.fo Victoria, Port Said. - Very touched by the Trevelyans' letter; would have written to Bessie but knows it is difficult for her to read; it meant a great deal 'during the heavy days in London' to feel that they were both with him, sharing his 'inquietude'. Was glad to be near his friends during the [Czechoslovakia] crisis. Found the Kalitinskis worn out by anxiety. [Marie] Germanova read several chapters from her book ["My Casket of Treasures / Мой ларец с драгоценностями"] which he finds remarkable, with great insight into the 'nature and anatomy of art, but feels will be a difficult task for translators. Hopes that he will be able to return soon to talk more fully to Trevelyan. Hears that his nephew is better and almost fit to go to Oxford; has written to his cousin [Shaista Soghra Ikramullah?], telling her to again ask the doctor if he would like to get Ratcliffe in for another opinion on his nephew's mental state; hopes it was not too much of a strain for Trevelyan to see him.
