Summary
Hoping that Moore is "making itineraries." Mentioning an intended visit from Fallows and inviting Moore to visit Dowson at Woodford. Noting that he has been dining in Poland recently with "a host of people -- [Calvert] Swanton, W. Hall and [John] Gray ("Dorian" Gray): also with one [Alexander Teixeira] De Mattos." Referencing the Dowson family's move to Maida Hill, noting that it will be "charming" to be near Moore, but lamenting that it is far from Poland. With a draft of his poem "Fleur de la Lune" on p. 4.
