Scope and content
8 Cheyne Gardens, Chelsea, S.W. - Is very sorry Desmond has kept Trevelyan waiting so long for an answer; wishes he would let her be his secretary, as she could have done everything with no trouble and real pleasure. Expects Desmond has done some if not all. Longs to read Trevelyan's "Polyphemus". Thinks she can answer about the cheque with a 'yes', Desmond got it, and will have got all the copies together. Mr [Robert] Bridges received his copy, and Trevelyan's 'other friend' another, but Desmond may well have put off sending the rest; when he returns on Saturday she will help him to get everything done. Will have the first copy bought for Mr Sturge Moore if he has not sent it. Desmond's lecture was 'good & clever' and went well. Is angry with the 'bad behaviour' of the Germans in England and does not even want to read Goethe; is glad Trevelyan is reading Tasso. Would very much like Mrs Trevelyan to visit so that she can get to know her; will try to get Donald Tovey. Has been to visit the Lakes; found them very beautiful. Trevelyan must not be too angry with Desmond.
