Item 78 - Letter from Leonard Woolf to R.C. Trevelyan

The Hogarth Press, 52 Tavistock Square, London, W.C.1. - They have both read [Hasan Shahid] Suhrawardy's poems; there are 'some interesting things in them' and they think some are 'pleasant', but do not agree that they are good enough to make a book. He thinks there is a 'certain weakness about them all' and a 'tendency to be slightly ridiculous'; does not know if this is because Suhrawardy is 'not an Englishman, and therefore is not fully aware of shades of meaning'. They are very sorry. They will be in London now, so Bob would be welcome if he 'care[d] to look in one day'.
