Description
the showers. Mrs Little would like to see you and would motor over if we were a little nearer.
Davies is amassing unread books and boasts daily about his purchases and how after all it is surprising what a few standard books there are and 500 will be a sufficient library.
The Marlowe I gave him is sharing(illegible) because he has a new copy of the same edition. He has 2 Ben Jonsons if not 3, Whiston's Josephus , scores of Elizabethans and hideous volumes of British poets in double columns unreadable and never read, (illegible) 'Book of love'. He reads the Chronicle. It is (illegible) on the wall, a ghastly sight, like an (illegible) colonel horsey publican. He talks of taking his next holiday in Paris to see the risible vice but is afraid of drugged wine so may put up with Jones.
Please save my review of Wuthering Heights in today's DC.
The post goes at 4.35. I do hope I shall hear from you tonight and hear that D is gone. Goodbye. We send our love to you all.
I am all yours (there is not much left) Edward. PTO
So far as I know I shall return Ellis' bicycle (which is a brute) on Thursday and return from there on Friday by train or (if it is ready) by bicycle. But you hadn’t sent any of Monday's letters to (illegible), as I shall be home, I hope, before Jack on Friday. Don’t send on any proof (illegible) Rusham Road as I shan't have a chance of dealing with them.
Please send proof to Rusham Road if any come tomorrow as I dare say Julian will look through them and though they will be too late for me. This really won't please (illegible) and I can't imagine why you haven't sent them here as I asked you to.
