Pièce 53 - Letter from Robert Oswald Sickert to R. C. Trevelyan

12 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, W. - Asks if Trevelyan has received his copy of "The Bird in Song" [in which his poem "The Lady's Bat" appears, see 6/47]. Sickert told Grant Richards to send it to Brimsley Johnson, since he keeps forgetting to ask [his brother] Oswald for Trevelyan's new address. Will then know whether the other poets have received their copies; he dares not write to Richards again, who will think he wants his cheque. Thinks it is 'quite a tidy little book' except for the 'hideous stuffed fowl' [the frontispiece]. The 'publishers war is waxing fierce'. Hopes Trevelyan will come to Kensington soon.
