Scope and content

12 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington. - Trevelyan's publisher has sent "Mallow and Asphodel" very promptly, but unfortunately the poem about the peacock is too long for their anthology" ["The Bird In Song", see 6/47]; it is Sickert's fault for not checking before he asked, Stanley [Makower] left it to him but now agrees that if 'the Bat is not a bird it ought to be'; they therefore would like to include Trevelyan's "The Lady's Bat". Says he is going to put some 'nonsense' from John Skelton in. Wondering what to use for a frontispiece: would like a peacock, for 'an upright composition' but cannot find one which works in reproduction; has tried Whistler and Hondekoeter [sic: Hondecoeter]. The elections are fun: expects the opposition to be made up entirely of the members for Birmingham at this rate.
