Unidad documental simple 145 - Letter from Hasan Shahid Suhrawardy to R. C. Trevelyan

Lloyd Triestino, Piroscafo 'Gange', Brindisi. - Is very grateful for the trouble Trevelyan is taking over his poems: they are experiments and not one is 'réussi', but he would like the printed in book form to help him in India, in his 'moral place among the people who know him' rather than in his career. So if there is a chance Leonard Woolf would accept them, asks Trevelyan to let him know how much it would cost and he may be able to get his relatives to pay. Heard of Julian's engagement [to Ursula Darwin] with joy; young men on their own now 'do not know what to do with their lives', but Julian's time at Trinity, and the 'traditions of English squires' he follows means that he knows when to 'reach to life at important moment'. Also thinks people should 'finish with the restlessness of emotional life at an early age' in order to have a creative life; he himself has not, and still waits 'for miracles to take place at each bend of the street'. Sends congratulations to Bessie.
