To Henry Williamson
Letter thanking Williamson for his compliments on his recent novel.
In part: "...how surprising to get back the book...I enjoyed writing it which I gather is an unusual experience...we leave at the end of this week for a month or two in Constantinople..."
See "diaries" page 301. Sunday November 11, 1928, where Waugh discusses a visit with Henry Williamson and loan of a copy of "Decline and Fall."
In part: "...He is quite elderly - though I find him coupled with me in reviews as promising young writers - and wholly without culture..." (Inventory #: 2222172)
