Scope and content
7 Dalmeny Avenue, N.7. - Thanks Bob for his 'charming Christmas present' [Bob's translation of Aeschylus's "Oresteia"?]; has 'always admired what you did for the Greek play very heartily'. Has been meaning to write congratulations about 'the poem on sleep' which he thought 'the most beautiful & perfect' of Bob's poems he had ever seen; supposes they have both 'taken an unconscionable time in getting through to what we really have to say' but thinks 'for both of us that blessed time has come'. They would have preferred to be 'more of infant prodigies' but supposes they 'have staying power & belong to long-lived families' so mustn't complain. Was sorry not to see Bob at the last lecture; asks him to let him know when he is next in town. Notes in a postscript that he has lost Jaloux's address; would like it if Bob has it as Jaloux has written 'the nicest critique' of his things at the Autumn Salon [in Paris] and he wants to thank him.
