Dearest Lady

I hope that my last letter to Rome reached you – c/o Thos. Cook – I am afraid to post to the Beau Site,1 as you may move. IFrancethe Franco-Italian entente;a4 wonderItalythe Franco-Italian entente;a4 what the feeling is in Rome about the French entente.2 AfterEnglandLondon;h1its fogs;a5 some warm drenching days, the9 Grenville Place, Londonin winter;a9 weather has become sharply cold, with smoky fog, and promises to become colder. In my room in Grenville Place I huddle by the gasfire, but I like the weather; and I must be more robust than a year ago, because I have not yet been driven into my winter underwear which I hate because woolen [sic] is always scratchy. AnotherYeats, William Butler ('W. B.')and abortive Mercury Theatre season;a7 meetingDulac, Edmund;a4 with Yeats last night at Dulac’s. A Franco-Italian entente is much easier to arrange than an entente between poets, producers and actors. TheCollis, Margotat disastrous Mercury Theatre meeting;a1 meeting began inauspiciously because Miss Margot Collis who is supposed (by Yeats) to act as secretary began by reporting that her baby had dropped the minutes of the last meeting into the fire. Nobody knows who Miss Collis is, but she is said to be a touring actress; anyway Yeats is sold on her.3 ApparentlyCollis, MargotYeats's weakness for;a2 she has a way of crooning his poems to tunes of her own improvisation, which he likes, and he says she is the only actress he knows who has the true tragic face. To me her face looks merely stupid: DulacDoone, Rupertand Yeats's Mercury Theatre season;a9 is cynical about her, and Doone hostile.4 Anyway, she is obviously afraid that with Doone producing she may get a raw deal instead of a star part, and pouted and frowned throughout the meeting; while Yeats bumbled away about wanting a theatre for the intellectuals with perfect art etc. and Doone occasionally exploded about the need for popular art. Ashley Dukes has a liking for Doone, and as he is providing the theatre and the money, his word counts. ItMercury Theatre, Londonfrom the outside;a2 is a mousy little theatre, evidently, and from the outside looks like a reclaimed Baptist Chapel.5 Miss Collis has a husband as well as a baby, and may want a job for the husband as well. The meeting ended with Yeats in gloom, and not seeing anybody; and I left my umbrella behind. Anyway, something may come of it. TheyMurder in the Cathedralabandoned Mercury Theatre premiere;d6in the offing;a2 may want to put on my Canterbury Play as well: IMurder in the CathedralTSE on writing;a4 have written just 24 lines of it, which look to me as bad as anything that is sent in for The Criterion. MissSweeney Agonistesreferred to as 'dance play';b9 Collis kept referring to ‘Sweeney Agonistes’ as a ‘dance play’ whatever that means, which annoyed Doone; and I did say at one point that there were some words attached to it as well.

ThisTemple, William, Archbishop of York (later of Canterbury);a5 morningChurch Times;a2 wrote a letter to the Archbp. of York objecting to something he said in the Church Times,6 spentSeymour, Revd Lord Victor;a1 an hour and a half on Vestry business, with a fluster because the Revd. Lord Victor Seymour7 had lost the cheque we sent him – the verger says he is always losing things – thenMore, Paul Elmer;b1 to the office to interview a man with an introduction from Paul More, lunched heartily by myself at the Etoile, andEliot, Vivien (TSE's first wife, née Haigh-Wood)separation from;f1efforts to retrieve TSE's property;c5 then to the City to meet Bird’s partner at the District Bank to identify some of my objects deposited there by V.8 I returned with nearly all my silver and a box of old papers. I have now got nearly everything, and don’t intend to proceed further. Next9 Grenville Place, Londonas repository for TSE's books;b1 I shall move my bookcases into Grenville Place; I shall be glad to have my books.

There is a very large permanent gap in London since you left, and I have not yet got used to it. I should like to know of your weather, your health, your comfort, your nerves, your irritability (if any) and what you think of Rome and of Italians. YouCaetani, Marguerite (née Chapin)and EH's trip to Rome;b2 ought to hear from Marguerite soon, as I wrote her a very nice letter, I thought – chiefly for your benefit, but partly in anticipation of the stinger I shall have to write her in February or March. But if she proves of any use to you, the stinger will be deferred, until the time you leave – but she is not to know that.

ItDoyle, Sir Arthur ConanTSE's 'Cardboard Box' prank on Auden;a1 appears that the Liturgical Conference will take place at Chichester towards the end of July, the one which fell through last year. AudenAuden, Wystan Hugh ('W. H.')Holmesian prank devised for;a8 left by air for Copenhagen this morning, andMorley, Frank Vigorin on Sherlock Holmes prank;d6 Morley and IDoyle, Sir Arthur Conan'Five Orange Pips' prank on GCF;a2 send [sc. sent] him a cardboard box as a departing present – containing a celluloid ear – but if you don’t know your Sherlock Holmes (as I fear you don’t) that will convey nothing to you;9 norFaber, Geoffreyvictim of Holmesian prank;c9 will the fact that the day after I sent Geoffrey five orange pips in an envelope, the death of Sir James Openshaw was announced in The Times.10 I am glad that I shall have my hands very full of work until you return. It is less than three months. I may stay at home every morning to work on the play – that is Morley’s suggestion, and I think it is a good one. SpenderSpender, Stephen'Vienna';d9 has been most unhappy because he thinks his poem ‘Vienna’ is not a very good poem, and I am afraid he is right, and he has withdrawn to Vienne [sic] to sit among the ruins. I must write the rest of my Christmas family letters, andGalitzi, Dr Christine;b7 thereEyre, Mary B.;b4 are still Miss Galitzi and Miss Eyre to write to.

HereHale, Emilybirthdays, presents and love-tokens;w2EH's present to TSE goes amiss;b6 I have written all this without mentioning what the letter was for to say: that they ALL deny receipt of any parcel, about the end of November, intended for me. Now can you YOU do anything to trace it? Who left it! when? where????? I am most exasperated.

Your devoted

3.MargotCollis, Margot Collis (1907–51) used her first married name, Collis, as an actor; her maiden name, Ruddock, as a poet. Michael J.

In September 1933 she had written to Yeats, out of the blue, to propose the foundation of a poets’ theatre. Yeats met her in London in October and became her lover. He decided that she had the beauty and the intellectual passion to be a great actor and began to execute her idea with gusto and with a view to advancing her career’ (Sidnell, Dances of Death, 266).
