1 item

13, Cliffords Inn, Fleet Street, E.C. - Thanks Trevy for the letters and trouble taken; has been to see Bruce Richmond [see 17/70], who is going to give him a trial writing reviews and 'articles on industrial questions', Hopes Trevy will find Ceylon 'more beautiful than India', though expects much of it is also 'vastly ugly'; thinks it is necessary to live there to 'see it properly'; he himself likes 'even the bareness & parchedness'. Has just received the first proofs of his novel ["The Village in the Jungle"], which comes out in February and is about Ceylon.
