Item 89 - Letter from Hasan Shahid Suhrawardy to R. C. Trevelyan

28, Rue de la Tourelle, Boulogne sur Seine. - Thanks Trevelyan for all the trouble he has taken over his own translation; agrees with nearly all the corrections, as they give 'a more living note' to the text. He has lived so long away from the 'atmosphere' of English that it has become 'dead and slow' for him. Curtis Brown Ltd are his agents in England, and will circulate the MS; has heard that it has already gone to Allen Unwin. Has missed out on the American rights for a translation of Cheng's work, and it would be very helpful, 'at this difficult period of [his] life' if it were accepted by an English publisher. Has heard from Geneva that the post he was trying for has gone to another Indian candidate; hopes that things will improve for him soon. Is not sure when he will be able to come to England. Madame Germanova has just returned from Italy, where she has been playing with the Pitoëffs, and send regards.
