Studio House, 1 Hampstead Hill Gardens, Rosslyn Hill, NW3.—Is glad that Smith is willing to accept the introduction to the second edition of [Seven Types of] Ambiguity, but sorry that he is not interested in carrying the controversy further. Is hoping to leave the BBC and return to his university job in China by the autumn. Invites him to dine with them [Empson and his family] if he comes to London; they could also offer him a bed, though the bath is not yet fitted up and the children wander about in the morning.
