Item 53 - Letter from Lascelles Abercrombie to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

The Gallows, Ryton, Dymock, Gloucester. - Glad to hear that Trevelyan has returned safely [from his trip to India, China and Japan]. Hopes that he will soon come to visit them; Abercrombie has "rigged up" an outside bathroom. Trevelyan should have some fine new material, but Abercrombie hopes he won't become an "Eastern poet" as Bantock became an "Eastern" musician after one trip to Egypt. Asks if Dickinson writes for the "Manchester Guardian" under the name "Don", as an article contrasting China and India has recently appeared. Has told Ransome what Trevelyan says about the case [brought by Lord Alfred Douglas] and hopes he may recover soon.
