Summary
Saying he "returned the book and pacified the librarian. Porter left yesterday taking with him my best piece of prose...I hope you were kind to Kapp, once he shared a lousy dugout with me and used to sing glees therein rauca voce. Are you in a poetic aeon? Even I have started a small string of rhymes. On my applying to Sassoon for my MSS - which by the way Sidgwick & Jackson appear to want - he replied that H.J. Massingham had them. He still has. Consequently I can't send you any to look at yet, but hope soon to do;" saying he is leaving for 14 days but "will send my new poems when & if completed."
